2000s. Each of them can be regarded as having
attained canonical status – not only be-cause they
display “typical” stylistic features of the periods towhich their respective national literary
historiographies usually ascribe them “Reformism,”“Romanticism,” So-cially criticial Realism,” etc.), butalso because they mirror, in an exemplary manner, thepolitical and social situations in their countries at thetimes they were written.

Kennedy shows how 'recognition' is key to anunderstanding of how one reads values and meaning
into, or out of, a story. He analyses texts and motifs
fundamental to the Arabic literary tradition in fivecase studies: the Qur’an; the biography of
Muhammad; Joseph in classical and medieval retellings; the ‘deliverance from adversity’ genre andpicaresque narratives.

Al-Musawi shows, as never before, how theArabian Nights has been translated, appropriated,
and authenticated or abused over time, and how its
reach is so expansive as to draw the attention ofpoets, painters, illustrators, translators, editors,
musicians, political scientists like Leo Strauss, andnovelists like Michel Butor, James Joyce and Marcel
Proust amongst others. Making use of documentaries,
films, paintings, novels and novellas, poetry, digitalforums and political jargon, this book offers nuanced
understanding of the perennial charm and power ofthis collection.
