This volume assembles the papers read at a symposium on the diverse forms of literature reception and intertextuality in Middle Eastern literatures and Arabic literature in particular. Arabic studies are continuously confronted with powerful traditions and notions of canon. Yet questions of intertextuality have only rarely been systematically pursued and a comprehensive study in the various modes of literary reception is equally missed. This book intends to alert to a desideratum in that subject.
