Sources used include introductions to grammatical and lexicographical work, large poetry collections, ethical and philosophical treatises, chronicles, treatises on poetics, and letters sent to various communities or exchanged among individuals.  \nEsperanza Alfonso’s thorough reading of this wide range of sources will make the book appealing not only to specialists in medieval Hebrew and Arabic literatures but also to scholars and researchers of comparative literature and cultural studies.  \nEsperanza Alfonso, Ph.D. (1998) in Hebrew Studies, Universidad Complutense, is currently a Research Fellow at the Universidad Complutense, Spain.  \nROUTLEDGE STUDIES IN MIDDLE EASTERN LITERATURES  \nEditors  \nJames E. Montgomery  \nUniversity of Cambridge  \nRoger Allen  \nUniversity of Pennsylvania  \nPhilip F. Kennedy  \nNew York University  \nRoutledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures is a monograph series devoted to aspects of the literatures of the Near and Middle East and North Africa both modern and pre-modern. It is hoped that the provision of such a forum will lead to a greater emphasis on the comparative study of the literatures of this area, although studies devoted to one literary or linguistic region are warmly encouraged. It is the editors’ objective to foster the comparative and multi-disciplinary investigation of the written and oral literary products of this area.  \n1 SHEHERAZADE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS Eva Sallis  \n2 THE PALESTINIAN NOVEL Ibrahim Taha  \n3 OF DISHES AND DISCOURSE Geert Jan van Gelder  \n4 MEDIEVAL ARABIC PRAISE POETRY  \nBeatrice Gruendler  \n5 MAKING THE GREAT BOOK OF SONGS Hilary Kilpatrick  \n6 THE NOVEL AND THE RURAL IMAGINARY IN EGYPT, 1880–1985  \nSamah Selim  \n7 IBN ABI TAHIR TAYFUR AND ARABIC WRITERLY CULTURE  \nA ninth-century bookman in Baghdad  \nShawkat M.
