Jurji Zaidan's Contributions to Modern Arab Thought and Literature
consists of a series of essays commissioned by the Zaidan
Foundation for a Symposium sponsored by the Library of Congress,
the Kluge Center and the Zaidan Foundation and held at the Library
of Congress on June 5th, 2012 in Washington DC. The essays were
prepared by a group of eminent scholars in literature, history and
other disciplines in leading universities in the US, Canada, France
and the Middle East working on the Nahda or Arab awakening of the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and, in particular,
on Jurji Zaidan's leading role in this movement. The scope of the
essays cover many areas that Zaidan influenced in important ways-in
particular his role as historical novelist, journalist, political
scientist, educator and social reformer. Contributors include
Professors Roger Allen of the University of Pennsylvania, Georges
Corm of Saint-Joseph University, Michael Cooperson of UCLA,
Anne-Laure Dupont and Zaineb Ben Lagha from the Sorbonne, Marwa
Elshakry from Columbia University, William Granara from Harvard
University, Jens Hanssen from the University of Toronto, Thomas
Philipp from Erlangen-Nurnberg, as well as Dr Ismail Serageldin,
Director of the Library of Alexandria and Dr George C. Zaidan.
Additionally, this volume includes translated articles by Jurji
Zaidan relevant to some of the themes of the essays. This volume
complements another work sponsored by the Zaidan Foundation
entitled "Jurji Zaidan and the Foundations of Arab Nationalism" by
Thomas Philipp and published by Syracuse University Press. The
latter book focuses on an evaluation of how Jurji Zaidan's approach
to history and the Arabic language shaped Arab nationalism
