The Body in Arabic Love Poetry: The ‘Udhri Tradition - Edinburgh Studies in Classical Islamic History and Culture
Alharthi, Jokha (Associate Professor of Classical Arabic Literature, Sultan Qaboos University)
Jokha Alharthi re-appraises the relationship between love, poetry and Arab society in the 8th to 11th centuries. She avoids clichés 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.
