About the Book

The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject to date. In scope, the book encompasses the genesis of the Arabic novel in the second half of the nineteenth century and its development to the present in every Arabic-speaking country and in Arab immigrant destinations on six continents. Editor Waïl S. Hassan and his contributors describe a novelistic phenomenon which has pre-modern roots, stretching centuries back within the Arabic cultural tradition, and branching outward geographically and linguistically to every Arab country and to Arab writing in many languages around the world.The first of three innovative dimensions of this Handbook consists of examining the ways in which the Arabic novel emerged out of a syncretic merger between Arabic and European forms and techniques, rather than being a simple importation of the latter and rejection of the former, as early critics of the Arabic novel claimed. The second involves mapping the novel geographically as it took root in every Arab country, developing into often distinct though overlapping and interconnected local traditions. Finally, the Handbook concerns the multilingual character of the novel in the Arab world and by Arab immigrants and their descendants around the world, both in Arabic and in at least a dozen other languages. The Oxford Handbook of Arab Novelistic Traditions reflects the current status of research in the broad field of Arab novelistic traditions and signals toward new directions of inquiry.

Review :
"[T]he Handbook provides valuable insights into an issue that is undoubtedly one of the most challenging to deal with in the history of Arab/ic literature." -- Francesca Bellino, Annali, Sezione Orientale "Waïl Hassan's Oxford Handbook of Arabic Novelistic Traditions is a great addition to the fields of Arabic and comparative literatures. It will be a useful reference for students and more advanced scholars alike... [it] arrives to solicitously build a new, more inclusive, and more global perspective on Arabic novels. This move is more than welcome." --Journal of Arabic Literature
