Reading beyond the line: Organic unity in classical Arabic poetry.
Farrin, Raymond Kenneth.

Reading beyond the line: Organic unity in classical Arabic poetry. - 286 p.

Adviser: James T. Monroe.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Berkeley, 2006.

This dissertation concerns the subject of organic unity in classical Arabic poetry. While this issue is not new in discussions of Arabic literature--since the nineteenth century Western and Arab critics have been attacking the classical Arabic poem for its alleged lack of coherence--it has once more been brought to the fore by a professor of Arabic literature at Oxford University, Geert Jan van Gelder. In his 1982 study Beyond the Line, van Gelder argues that because classical Arab rhetoricians did not treat Arabic poems as organic wholes, modern critics should accept and even appreciate the poems' incoherence. Nevertheless, during the last two decades scholars have identified in individual poems unifying structural patterns. One of these is ring composition, according to which a poem progresses concentrically (in the manner of A - B - C - B1 - A1) rather than linearly. Professor James T. Monroe at UC Berkeley has discovered its incidence in Arabic literature and has clearly identified the pattern in works of both prose and poetry. In this dissertation, I build on Professor Monroe's research and demonstrate that ring composition is an important structural pattern that occurs repeatedly in classical Arabic poetry--in periods from the sixth century to the twelfth, in places from the Arabian Peninsula to al-Andalus, and in genres from the panegyric, to the satire, to the love poem.

520 $a This dissertation concerns the subject of organic unity in classical Arabic poetry. While this issue is not new in discussions of Arabic literature--since the nineteenth century Western and Arab critics have been attacking the classical Arabic poem for its alleged lack of coherence--it has once more been brought to the fore by a professor of Arabic literature at Oxford University, Geert Jan van Gelder. In his 1982 study Beyond the Line, van Gelder argues that because classical Arab rhetoricians did not treat Arabic poems as organic wholes, modern critics should accept and even appreciate the poems' incoherence.

520 $a To do this, I undertake a series of close readings of major Arabic poems, connecting each one to its historical and literary context while also showing how it accords with the principles of ring composition. I keep the structural analysis as simple and as self-evident as possible, focusing instead on the particular message of the individual poet.
520 $a Overall, I accomplish three main objectives through this dissertation. By offering humanist readings of key poems, I present a brief history of classical Arabic poetry. I also put the works in a broad literary perspective, so that the reader is encouraged to regard them not as isolated but as part of a great multicultural heritage. Finally, I promote a wider recognition of ring composition as a major structural principle observed by many distinguished Arab poets, so as to help put to rest the notion that classical Arabic poetry lacks coherence.
