This book offers a comparative study of emotion in Arabic Islamic
and English Christian contemplative texts, c. 1110-1250,
contributing to the emerging interest in 'globalization' in
medieval studies. A.S.Lazikani argues for the necessity of placing
medieval English devotional texts in a more global context and
seeks to modify influential narratives on the 'history of emotions'
to enable this more wide-ranging critical outlook. Across eight
chapters, the book examines the dialogic encounters generated by
comparative readings of Muhyddin Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240), 'Umar Ibn
al-Farid (1181-1235), Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (d. 1269), Ancrene
Wisse (c. 1225), and the Wooing Group (c. 1225). Investigating the
two-fold 'paradigms of love' in the figure of Jesus and in the
image of the heart, the (dis)embodied language of affect, and the
affective semiotics of absence and secrecy, Lazikani demonstrates
an interconnection between the religious traditions of early
Christianity and Islam.
