This book explores the concept of the beloved in a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary manner, revealing how shared ideas on the subject supersede geographical and temporal boundaries, and ideas of nationhood. The book considers the beloved in its classical, modern and postmodern manifestations, taking into account the different sexual orientations and forms of desire expressed. From the pre-Islamic 'Udhri (romantic unrequited love), to the erotic same-sex love in thirteenth century poetry and prose, the divine Sufi reflections on the topic, and post-revolutionary love encounters in Iran, Egypt and Saudi Arabia, The Beloved in Middle Eastern Literatures connects the affective and cultural with the political and the obscene. In focusing on the diverse manifestations of love and tropes of the lover/beloved binary, this book is unique in foregrounding what is often regarded as a 'taboo subject' in the region. The multi-faceted outlook reveals the variety of philological, philosophical, poetic and literary forms that treat this significant motif."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aLove in literature 606 $aMiddle Eastern literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $2Literary studies: general 615 0$aLove in literature. 615 0$aMiddle Eastern literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809.933543 702 $aAl-Samman$b Hanadi 702 $aBeard$b Michael$factive 2017, 702 $aKorangy$b Alireza 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818796803321 996 $aThe beloved in Middle Eastern literatures$94088228 997 $aUNINA
