Book Synopsis Medieval Arabic Praise Poetry by : Beatrice Gruendler
Book excerpt: This book gives an insight into panegyrics, a genre central to understanding medieval Near Eastern Society. Poets in this multi-ethnic society would address the majority of their verse to rulers, generals, officials, and the urban upper classes, its tone ranging from celebration to reprimand and even to threat.
