Interpreting the Self: Autobiography in the Arabic Literary Tradition
Dwight Fletcher Reynolds
Autobiography is a literary genre which Western scholarship has ascribed mostly to Europe and the West. Countering this assessment, this work demonstrates the existence of a flourishing tradition in Arabic autobiography. It discusses nearly one hundred Arabic autobiographical texts and presents thirteen selections in translation.
