The Wine Song in Classical Arabic Poetry: Abú Nuwás and the Literary Tradition: Abu Nuwas and the Literary Tradition (Oxford Oriental Monographs) Book

He focusses on the work of the great Abu Nuwas (d. c.813), placing his wine songs in context with those of his contemporaries and with other poetic genres such as amatory, invective, ascetic, and gnomic verse.Read More
