In The Poetics of Islamic Legitimacy, Suzanne Stetkevych explores how this poetry relates to ceremony and political authority and how the classical Arabic ode encoded and promoted a myth and ideology of legitimate Arabo-Islamic rule. Beginning with praise poems to pre-Islamic Arab kings, Stetkevych takes up poetry in praise of the Prophet Mohammed and odes addressed to Arabo-Islamic rulers. She explores the rich tradition of Arabic praise poems in light of ancient Near Eastern rites and ceremonies, gender, and political culture. Stetkevych's superb English translations capture the immediacy and vitality of classical Arabic poetry while opening up a multifaceted literary tradition for readers everywhere. 606 $aQasidas$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArabic poetry$y622-750$xHistory and criticism 606 $aArabic poetry$y750-1258$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics in literature 615 0$aQasidas$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArabic poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aArabic poetry$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics in literature. 676 $a892/.7104309 700 $aStetkevych$b Suzanne Pinckney$0660686 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815571503321 996 $aThe poetics of Islamic legitimacy$94185926 997 $aUNINA
