In the Shadows of the Master: Al-Mutanabbi's Legacy and the Quest
for the Center in Fatimid and Andalusian Poetry offers original
translations, analysis, and provides anecdotal and historical
context for five important odes by four of the Arab world's most
influential poets in the tenth and eleventh centuries C.E. These
odes span the broad spectrum of the Arabic-speaking Middle East,
starting with al-Mutanabbi at Sayf al-Dawlah's court in Aleppo
(located in northern Syria), and concluding with Ibn Darraj
al-Qastalli at the courts of al-Munsur and Mundhir b. Yahya in the
Iberian Peninsula (Muslim Spain). The purpose of the book is to
provide a contemporary analysis with a consistent application of a
theoretical framework that will make these poems relevant for
scholars and students of Arabic literature, but also for scholars
and students of comparative literature as well. It examines both
how poetic discourse formulates and articulates legitimacy claims
in the court ceremonial, and how poetry is used to do things in a
specific historical context.
