Arabic, Persian, and Turkic PoeticsTowards a Post-Eurocentric Literary Theory\nAuthor(s): Hany Rashwan, Rebecca Ruth Gould, Nasrin Askari\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Oxford University Press, United Kingdom\nImprint: Oxford University Press\nISBN-13: 9780197267790, 978-0197267790\nSynopsis\nArabic, Persian, and Turkic Poetics: Towards a Post-Eurocentric Literary Theory is a pioneering book that offers a fresh perspective on Arabic, Persian, and Turkic literature in their interrelations. The authors challenge Eurocentric paradigms while creating a framework for exploring these traditions on their own terms. Authored by an international team of scholars, each chapter centres the literary theoretical traditions of their respective literatures, with a focus on the discipline of comparative poetics ('ilm al-balgha) in the Islamic world. By liberating the study of Islamicate literary texts from Eurocentric theoretical paradigms, the book paves the way for a more inclusive global discourse.
