Description

Writing and Representation in Medieval Islam: Muslim Horizons. Edited by JULIA BRAY. Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures, 11. London: ROUTLEDGE, 2006. Pp. xiv + 266. $160. Billed as "an introduction to classical Islamic thought" (p. i), this book is a collection of specialist essays, of which only two out of six seem introductory. Anyone who tried to use this book as a first reference might come away with all sorts of odd ideas. Yet that would be a good thing. Of the recent flood of introductions to one or another department of Arabic and Islamic civilization, even the best perforce flatten their subjects for easier surveying. The present collection, by contrast, is undeterred by rough edges. For readers familiar with the past decade's-worth of anodyne overviews, this quirky little volume will come as a relief.
