Class Details
What is often referred to as the “classical” period of Arabic literary culture spans five and a half centuries (from approximately 600 to 1150 CE) and reaches across vast geographical regions. In this course, students will engage with various texts from this tradition and consider how they challenge, construct and reconstruct temporal, spatial, and epistemic boundaries. Students will become acquainted with classical Arabic literary writing and receive grounding in the history and development of classical Arabic literary culture and the sources for its study.
