This is a compilation of poetry written by Arabic women poets from
pre-Islamic times to the end of the Abbasid caliphate and
Andalusia, and offers translations of over 200 poets together with
literary commentary on the poets and their poetry. This critical
anthology presents the poems of more than 200 Arabic women poets
active from the 600s through the 1400s CE. It marks the first
appearance in English translation for many of these poems. The
volume includes biographical information about the poets, as well
as an analysis of the development of women's poetry in classical
Arabic literature that places the women and the poems within their
cultural context. The book fills a noticeable void in modern
English-language scholarship on Arabic women, and has important
implications for the fields of world and Arabic literature as well
as gender and women's studies. The book will be a fascinating and
vital text for students and researchers in the fields of Gender
Studies and Middle Eastern studies, as well as scholars and
students of translation studies, comparative literature, literary
theory, gender studies, Arabic literature, and culture and
classics.
