Panegyric poetry, in both Arabic and Persian, was one of the most
important genres of literature in the medieval Middle East and
Central Asia. Jocelyn Sharlet argues that panegyric poetry is
important not only because it provides a commentary on society and
culture in the medieval Middle East, but also because panegyric
writing was one of the key means for individuals to gain social
mobility and standing during this period. This is particularly so
within the context of patronage, a central feature of social order
during these times. Sharlet places the medieval Arabic and Persian
panegyric firmly within its cultural context, and identifies it as
a crucial way of gaining entry to and movement within this
patronage network. This is an important contribution to the fields
of pre-modern Middle Eastern and Central Asian literature and
culture.
