Drawing on the richness and depth of the literatures from the Islamicate world, Arabic, Persian, and Turkic Poetics: Towards a Post-Eurocentric Literary Theory paves the way for a more inclusive literary theory that is rooted in Arabic, Persian, and Turkic literary traditions and which fosters a deeper understanding of global literary discourse. A superb collection that details the distinctive characters of the Arabic, Persian, and Turkish literary traditions as well as the numerous and subtle ways in which they have interacted. With depth and nuance, this volume conveys the integrity and logic of a range of literary expression, with examples from the 10th to 20th centuries, in the three languages. In elucidating the conceptual and aesthetic underpinnings of these varied modes of expression in their own terms, this book represents a pioneering and much needed post-Eurocentric exploration of central literary categories of the Arabic, Persian, and Turkish traditions and elucidates what might be termed an Islamicate comparative poetics, enriching the repertoire available for developing a transnational and global literary theory.
