Part 1, The Poet, reconstructs the poet's life and times providing the background for Part II, The Poetry, which traces the influences in Ibn al-R?m?'s distinctive poetic style and themes. This provides a glimpse into a rather fluid period in Arabic literary history when the boundary between poetry and prose was becoming increasingly permeable, due to the emergence of the so-called "secretary-poets," and to the prevalence and importance of the mun??arah , or disputation. Part III, The Poem, analyzes the poet's celebrated 282-line poem commemorating the quashing of the Zanj rebellion. The towering architectonics and sophisticated organization of this poem provide an ideal opportunity to explore Ibn al-R?m?'s poetic contribution. 410 0$aBrill Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures ;$v28. 517 3 $aIbn al-R?m? and his Poetics in Context 606 $aAbbasids 606 $aLyric 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAbbasids. 615 0$aLyric. 676 $a891/.5511 700 $aMcKinney$b Robert$01074776 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450969103321 996 $aThe Case of Rhyme versus Reason$92581580 997 $aUNINA
