Wolfhart Heinrichs' Essays and Articles on Arabic Literature showcases a great number of Heinrichsʼ writings in two volumes on his central field of research on Arabic literature, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence.

Wolfhart Heinrichs (1941-2014) was James Richard Jewett Professor of Arabic at Harvard University. He is remembered as a significant adviser to Fuat Sezginʼs fundamental Geschichte des arabischen Schrifttums, and as an editor of and contributor to the Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second edition, and, most importantly, as an author of many independent studies on Arabic literature, many of them ground-breaking in the history of Arabic philology. He is also known for his studies on Semitic Linguistics and Islamic Jurisprudence.

Both volumes collect relevant bibliographical data, offer an introductory essay on the author by his distinguished student, Michael Cooperson (UCLA), and provide a selection of Wolfhart Heinrichs' essays surrounding particular themes. The first volume looks at poetry and rhetoric, and their indigenous theories and terminologies. The second volume includes writings on Arabic literature, Semitic Studies, and Islamic Jurisprudence.

The two volumes will appeal to students and researchers in the field of Arabic and Islamic Studies, and particularly to those interested in Arabic literature.

Industry Reviews

"Like dear members of a dispersed tribe gathered again; like precious stray camels rounded up; like scattered lustrous pearls strung at last: here, in this treasure trove, are brought together many matchless studies, the opera minora of a major scholar, Wolfhart Heinrichs, whose learning is as deep as it is wide, ranging from Arabic poetics, poetry, and poets to Muslim jurisprudence and Semitic linguistics."

Geert Jan, retired Laudian Professor of Arabic, Oxford University.

"With these seminal and incisive articles, Wolfhart Heinrichs played a major role in the late twentieth century renaissance in the study of classical Arabic poetry and poetics. They showcase his mastery of the Arabic literary critical tradition, his command of the rhetoric and architectonics of the qasida, and his keen sense of aesthetics. Heinrichs reminds us that Arabic poetry and poetics did not exist in an intellectual vacuum but were coterminous and contiguous with trends and development in disciplines such as law and theology."

James E. Montgomery, Sir Thomas Adams?s Professor of Arabic, Cambridge University.
