CLASSICAL POEMS BY ARAB WOMEN: A BILINGUAL ANTHOLOGY
Book ID/图书代码： 11908518C00007
English Summary/英文概要： Arab women poets have been around since the earliest of times, yet their diwans (collected poems) were not given the same consideration as their male counterparts’.
Spanning 7,000 years, from the pre-Islamic to the Andalusian periods, Classical Poems by Arab Women presents rarely seen work by over fifty women writers for the first time. From the sorrowful eulogies of Khansa to the gleeful scorn of Wallada bint al-Mustakfi, this collection exclusively features the work of Arab women who boldly refused to be silenced. The poems are excursions into their vibrant world whose humanity has been suppressed for centuries by religious and political bigotry.
With poems in both English and Arabic, this remarkable anthology celebrates feminine wit and desire, and shows the significant contribution Arab women made to the literary tradition.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 阿拉伯女性诗人一直以来都很活跃，但她们的作品却不如男性诗人那样受到关注。
本诗集首次收录了时间跨度7000年的由50多位女性作家创作的诗歌作品。从悲痛的悼词到欢乐的轻斥，这本诗集中收录了那些勇敢拒绝沉默的女性诗人的代表作品。通过这些诗歌，读者能够深入她们长久以来被宗教及政治偏见所压抑的实则充满活力的世界。
诗集以英文和阿拉伯语双语形式呈现，展现了女性的智慧和渴望，也展示了阿拉伯女性对传统文学所做出的杰出贡献。（LYR）
