This book argues that the tension between Arabic poetry and the
Qur'an dating back to the seventh century, when the Qur'an was
first recited, is a primary generator of meaning in the Arabic
Literary Tradition. Four case studies illustrate how this tension
is a creative force. What, for example is the relationship between
the Qur'an, poetry and other genres of Arabic Literature? How are
the figures of the prophet and the poet linked in the life and work
of 10th-century al-Mutanabbi? How do the Qur'an and Arabic poetry
depend on each other for their interpretation? How do reading
practices associated with the Qur'an and Arabic Poetry inform
attempts to understand the inscriptions of the Alhambra?
