The Body in Arabic Love Poetry: The Udhri Tradition - Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture
Jokha Alharthi
Jokha Alharthi re-appraises the relationship between love, poetry and Arab society in the 8th to 11th centuries. She avoids clich s about the purity of love in 'Udhri poetry, instead questioning the traditional emphasis on chastity and the assumption that this poetry omits any concept of the body.
