Beschreibung
"In eleventh-century Cordoba, the celebrated poet Ibn Zaydun found himself jockeying for the affections of Walladah, accomplished poet and free-spirited daughter of an Umayyad caliph. Looking to embarrass a rival suitor, Ibn Zaydun mischievously wrote and publicized an eloquent, erudite, and searing rejection letter in Walladah's name, which went on to become one of the most widely read works of Arabic literature. His letter was so rich with historical references and sophisticated metaphors that it became a cultural touchstone among the literary elite. One could not belong in refined circles if one did not understand Ibn Zaydun's letter. Three centuries later, the Egyptian litterateur Ibn Nubatah wrote a guide to this widely-admired text. In The Genius of Invective, a brilliant work of explication, Ibn Nubatah supplements Ibn Zaydun's complete letter with concise biographies of every figure referenced in it and glosses arcane Arabic terms. This wide-ranging volume offered readers a veritable encyclopedia of the key cultural and literary references that peppered Ibn Zaydun's famous letter. As impressive in its own right as the remarkable letter that inspired it, The Genius of Invective is a peerless example of the breadth, depth, and complexity of the Arabic classical literary tradition"--
