A Comparative Study of Longinus and Al-Jurjani – The Interrelationships Between Medieval Arabic Literary Criticism and Graeco-Roman Poetics - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
This book investigates the similarities and differences between two critics, two books, and two Longinus’ “Sublime” in his On the Sublime (1st or 3rd A.D.) and al-Jurjani’s “Standard of Poetry” in his Mediation between al-Mutanabbi and his Adversaries (10th A.D.). Although much is known about al-Jurjani, his books and his times, almost nothing is known about we are not sure who wrote that book, when and where it was written, and even how to translate the title. Al-Jurjani lived at least some seven centuries later and his ideas crystallize Arabic thought on great poetry.
