Description

This volume offers a collection of essays by a group of scholars of Arabic literature. It explores various manifestations of traditional as well as modern and postmodern themes and techniques in Arabic literature. Tripartite concepts of tradition, modernity, and postmodernity in Arabic literary works are explored and analyzed. The volume illustrates the fact that Arabic literature has kept abreast not only of the primarily modern literary movements in the West but also of the "postmodern condition".
