A compilation of the history of Islamic authors and writings, A
Literary History of the Arabs is considered one of the best
explanations of Arabic culture and literature today. R.A. Nicholson
explains in the book's preface that Islamic literature contains
within it references to figureheads and cultural understandings
that would stump all English readers unaware of Arabic history and
beliefs. Nicholson outlines within all the necessary information to
begin understanding English translations of Arabic works. Written
for students, the political, intellectual, and religious notions
presented are useful for any modern study of Arabic
literature.REYNOLD ALLEYNE NICHOLSON (1868-1945) was an English
scholar of Islamic literature and mysticism. Born in Yorkshire,
England, Nicholson attended Aberdeen University and the University
of Cambridge for Arabic studies. He taught Persian language and
Arabic culture at Cambridge and was considered a leading scholar in
Islamic studies. Not only did Nicholson translate major texts from
various Arabic languages, he also wrote two widely-regarded books
on Islam: A Literary History of The Arabs and The Mystics of Islam.
In addition, Nicholson produced the first English translation and
commentary of Rumi's Masnavi, an impressive and respected fete.
