<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A unique and illuminating bilingual anthology of classical Arab women's poetry from 4000 BCE to 1300 CE.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Arab women poets have been around since the earliest of times, yet their diwans (collected poems) were not given the same consideration as their male counterparts'. <p/>Spanning 5,000 years, from the pre-Islamic to the Andalusian periods, <i>Classical Poems by Arab Women</i> presents rarely seen work by over fifty women writers for the first time. From the sorrowful eulogies of Khansa to the gleeful scorn of Wallada bint al-Mustakfi, this collection exclusively features the work of Arab women who boldly refused to be silenced. The poems are excursions into their vibrant world whose humanity has been suppressed for centuries by religious and political bigotry. <p/>With poems in both English and Arabic, this remarkable anthology celebrates feminine wit and desire, and shows the significant contribution Arab women made to the literary tradition.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Abdullah al-Udhari was born in Taiz, Yemen, in 1941, and has lived in London since 1962. He studied classical Arab literature and Sabaean epigraphy at London University, where he also received a doctorate for his pioneering study, Jahili Poetry before Imru al-Qais (4000 BCE-500 CE), which established him as an authority on early Jahili literature. In 1974 he founded and edited TR, an Anglo-Arab literary and arts magazine. He is a literary historian, poet and storyteller, and the author of <i>Voice Without Passport</i>, <i>The Arab Creation Myth</i> and <i>Modern Poetry of the Arab World</i>.
