Description: Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions, Hardcover by Hassan, Waïl S. (EDT), ISBN 0199349797, ISBN-13 9780199349791, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date. In scope, th encompasses the genesis of the Arabic novel in the second half of the nineteenth century and its development to the present in every Arabic-speaking country and in
Arab immigrant destinations on six continents. Editor Wal S. Hassan and his contributors describe a novelistic phenomenon which has pre-modern roots, stretching centuries back within the Arabic cultural tradition, and branching outward geographically and linguistically to every Arab country and to
Arab writing in many languages around the world.
The first of three innovative dimensions of this Handbook consists of examining the ways in which the Arabic novel emerged out of a syncretic merger between Arabic and European forms and techniques, rather than being a simple importation of the latter and rejection of the former, as early critics of
the Arabic novel claimed. The second involves mapping the novel geographically as it took root in every Arab country, developing into often distinct though overlapping and interconnected local traditions. Finally, the Handbook concerns the multilingual character of the novel in the Arab world and by
Arab immigrants and their descendants around the world, both in Arabic and in at least a dozen other languages. The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions reflects the current status of research in the broad field of Arab novelistic traditions and signals toward new directions of inquiry.
