Of Dishes and Discourse: Classical Arabic Literary Representations of Food and Rhetoric (Curzon Studies in Arabic and Middle Eastern Literature)

This work considers how Arab and Islamic culinary culture may be represented in literary forms. Scholars of the medieval Islamic period are aware of the importance of food and wine as themes in literature. The author aims to tease the most out of the relevant texts as well as enabling the reader to enjoy a panorama of medieval Arabo-Islamic culture from an unexpected perspective.
