Jamil, Nadia,author.
Trustees of the "E.J.W. Gibb Memorial",publisher.
This is a much-needed study of pre-Islamic poetry from Arabia. It fills a key gap in understanding not only the history of Arabian poetry, but also of Arabian ethos and ideology. What emerges is a complex, stylized discourse which reflects a distinctive cosmology.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 359-367) and index.
