Literary Optics. Staging the Collective in the Nahda, Paperback

Offers a compelling alternative to the traditional mode of analysing Arabic literature through an encounter between Arabic narrative forms and European ones. Drawing upon close engagements with the works of canonical authors, AbdelMegeed addresses how and why they were drawn together to form a canon.
