A nuanced understanding of literary imaginings of masculinity and
femininity in the Arabic novel. While the 'woman question' in the
Arabic novel has received considerable attention, the 'male
question' has gone largely unnoticed. Gender studies in Arabic
literature has become equated with women's writing, leaving aside
the possibility of a radical rethinking of the Arabic literary
canon and Arab cultural history. This book bucks that trend,
offering a nuanced understanding of literary imaginings of
masculinity and femininity in the context of the 'national' canon
of Egypt. Foregrounding voices that have been marginalised, but
also considering canonical works, it engages with new directions in
the novel tradition and sheds new light on key debates including
the project of nation-building in the modern period; the process of
inclusion and exclusion in canon formation; the geopolitics of
definitions of national or cultural identity in the global world;
and the conceptual discourses on gender and nation. Key Features:
*Interrogates the canon of modern Arabic literature * Sheds light
on literary voices, both male and female, that have been
marginalized in Egyptian national literary history *Contributes to
current scholarship on gender and nation in postcolonial contexts
*Intervenes in current debates on the meaning of national identity
in a global context.
