Description: The Literary Qur'an by Hoda El Shakry Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The novel, the literary adage has it, reflects a world abandoned by God. Yet the possibilities of novelistic form and literary exegesis exceed the secularizing tendencies of contemporary criticism. Showing how the Quran invites critical reading, this account of Arabophone and Francophone Maghrebi literature develops a Quranic model of narratology. Publisher Description Winner, 2020 Aldo and Jeanne Scaglione Prize for Comparative Literary Studies, Modern Language AssociationThe novel, the literary adage has it, reflects a world abandoned by God. Yet the possibilities of novelistic form and literary exegesis exceed the secularizing tendencies of contemporary literary criticism. Showing how the Quran itself invites and enacts critical reading, Hoda El Shakrys Quranic model of narratology enriches our understanding of literary sensibilities and practices in the Maghreb across Arabophone and Francophone traditions. The Literary Quran mobilizes the Qurans formal, narrative, and rhetorical qualities, alongside embodied and hermeneutical forms of Quranic pedagogy, to theorize modern Maghrebi literature. Challenging the canonization of secular modes of reading that occlude religious epistemes, practices, and intertexts, it attends to literature as a site where the process of entextualization obscures ethical imperatives. Engaging with the Arab-Islamic tradition of adab-a concept demarcating the genre of belles lettres, as well as social and moral comportment-El Shakry demonstrates how the critical pursuit of knowledge is inseparable from the spiritual cultivation of the self.Foregrounding form and praxis alike, The Literary Quran stages a series of pairings that invite paratactic readings across texts, languages, and literary canons. The book places twentieth-century novels by canonical Francophone writers (Abdelwahab Meddeb, Assia Djebar, Driss Chraibi) into conversation with lesser-known Arabophone ones (Mahmud al-Masadi, al-Tahir Wattar, Muhammad Barrada). Theorizing the Quran as a literary object, process, and model, this interdisciplinary study blends literary and theological methodologies, conceptual vocabularies, and reading practices.
