Book Synopsis Poetics of Islamic Historiography by : Boaz Shoshan
Book excerpt: This book exposes the mimetic assumption involved in early Islamic historiography, its literary practice and whatever subverts it as reflected in Ṭabarī's History. Four major events in the history of early Islam are then subject to analysis based on literary criticism and are shown to produce a new meaning.
