Homoeroticism in Classical Arabic Literature
Editorial Reviews
Roger Allen author of The Arabic Novel and Modern Arabic Literature
There has been a tendency within the scholarly community to sweep the topic of homoeroticism in Arabic literary expression under a rug of both obscurity and ambiguity. This volume confronts such transcultural misunderstandings by addressing the homoerotic theme and its imagery in a direct fashion. Homoeroticism in Classical Arabic Literature is a powerful and pioneering investigation that will serve to expand our broader understanding of gender roles and the multifarious expressions of human desire.
Paula Sanders Rice University
No previous volume devoted to Arabic literature has seriously addressed either eroticism in general or homoeroticism in particular. Homoeroticism in Classical Arabic Literature breaks new ground with nuanced discussions of one of the most important and misunderstood elements of classical Arabic literature.
