Here, they meet in the realm of literary imagination, illuminating the complexity of gender, sexuality, and religious practice in South Asian Islamic culture. Kugle argues that Sun and Moon expressed through their poetry exceptions to the general rules of heteronormativity and gender inequality common in their patriarchal societies. Their art provides a lens for a more subtle understanding of both the reach and the limitations of gender roles in Islamic and South Asian culture and underscores how the arts of poetry, music, and dance are integral to Islamic religious life. Integrated throughout are Kugle's translations of Urdu and Persian poetry previously unavailable in English" --Provided by publisher.Islamic civilization & Muslim networks.Urdu poetry18th centuryHistory and criticismUrdu poetry19th centuryHistory and criticisUrdu poetryHistory and criticism.Urdu poetryHistory and criticis.891.4/391009Kugle Scott Alan1969-1194058MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798209103321When sun meets moon3685779UNINA
