    The thesis is anchored upon a text extracted from an important 11th / 17th century Yemeni historical work. This text deals primarily with al-Hādī ilā 'I-Haqq, the founder of the Zaydī Imamate in the Yemen that lasted well over a thousand years. AI-Hādīs imamate, of considerable significance in itself, also coincides with one of the most turbulent periods of early Yemeni mediaeval history. The- edited Arabic text, with its accompanying apparatus criticus. Is to be found at the opposite end of this volume. The Introduction considers various aspects of Imam al-Hadī’s life, religious ideas and aspirations and matters directly connected with the edited text and the work of which it forms a part. Among the most important subjects discussed are the MSS used in the production of the edited text, the problem concerning the authorship of Ghāyat al-amānī and the relationship of the latter work to Anbā' al-zaman. A short biography of al-Hādī is provided, together with a treatment of the historical background to ai-Hādīs imamate. The introduction also describes the editorial method followed with regard to the text, and certain key personal names and toponyms are dealt with there. The method employed by the author of the Ghāyat is to record the events of any one year by Itself. I have translated one year at a time and then followed it by the annotations appertaining to it. It is hoped that by means of these annotations. (some of which through necessity are quite detailed ), the text will be better understood. The numerous personages, tribal names and toponyms are considered, as well as problems concerning points of chronology and various matters of historical and religious significance. Specific comment is made upon certain interesting terms or any unusual or striking vocabulary. The thesis concludes with maps, genealogical tables and a comprehensive bibliography

    Triangulated Narrative Patterns in Richard Wright’s Native Son and The Outsider: Naturalism, Existentialism, and Ideology

    No full text
    Naturalism and existentialism are two modes of representation that many twentieth-century American and European writers used. But whereas some novelists used each mode independently, others, such as the African-American writer Richard Wright, mixed both modes in the single novel for ideological reasons, thus making the novel’s narrative structure more dynamic. This paper explores both the naturalistic and existential modes of representation in two novels by Richard Wright, namely, Native Son and The Outsider. An analysis of these two novels together highlights the relationship between the author’s ideology and his narrative technique with greater clarity than if either novel were studied separately. The paper explains that the narrative pattern in both novels is inconsistent due to the author’s shift from one mode to the other. Wright starts both novels in the mode of naturalism, moves then to the mode of existentialism, and, finally, ends both novels in the mode of naturalism. The paper relates Wright’s shift to the mode of existentialism to the ideology and personality of the author himself. Richard Wright suffered from humiliation and slavery in the dominant society of white America and came to reflect on the oppression and poverty he suffered in both of his novels by using the naturalistic mode of representation. Thomas Bigger in Native Son and Damon Cross in The Outsider are represented at the outset as weak and controlled by social and economic forces which they can neither control nor understand. However, the author shifts toward the middle of each novel to the existential mode to portray his oppressed heroes—Thomas Bigger and Damon Cross—as powerful and violent figures who rebel against the moral values of the white American society. But Wright turns back again to the naturalistic mode of representation toward the ends of both novels rendering both characters as weak, especially when he describes their failure in their quest to find a meaning for their lives, a matter which suggests Wright’s frustrations regarding the realities of the experience of the African-American individual in the American society

    Astrology in literature: how the prohibited became permissible in the Arabic poetry of the mediaeval period

    Get PDF
    This thesis is concerned to position the art of astrology within the context of classical Arabic poetry, primarily by investigating and elucidating attitudes to the notion of qadar (fate) and the ideology in which it was embedded. These attitudes were revelatory of the broader world view of the Arabs of those periods, and their shifts from those held in the pre-Islamic and early Islamic eras tell us a good deal about the importance given to the nature and role of fate and about the various understandings of its influence. The pre-Islamic Arab's notion of qadar was in some ways similar to that of the early Muslims: both emphasised predetermination and the irresistible power of fate. But while the jahilf (Pre-Islamic) Arabs identified fate with the malign power of dahr (Time), the Muslims believed the power of fate lies in the hands of God the Omnipotent, who alone is responsible for the fate of the whole universe. Thus the astrology of the pre-Islamic era was one aspect of divination (kihana) and claimed to be able to reveal in advance an individual's destiny, which could be avoided by taking certain precautions. These precautions, however, were considered effective only in relatively trivial cases; they were useless in the areas of major impact: a person's happiness or misery (shaqiiwa aw sa ada), sustenance (rizq) and one's term (ajal), the three inevitable and irresistible manifestations of fate. In the Islamic period not only these major aspects of life are governed and controlled by the Omnipotent; the destiny of the universe, in even its most minute details, is determined and controlled by God alone. Astrology was considered to be of no value whatsoever, and its practitioners were subject to the death penalty. These two irreconcilable views are evident in early Islamic poetry, which reflected clearly the response of poets, and society, to astrology from the perspective of qadar. When the orthodox caliphate was replaced by dynastic rule the status of astrology was changed dramatically. The idea that the stars, as indicators, play a role in the life of human beings found popowerful supporters in some governors of the Islamic world, who allowed astrology to fulfil a public function regardless of the hostility of the official religion of that society. This social phenomenon generated rich material of a controversial character in the realm of literature. Investigating the factors, motivations and impact of mediaeval political, theological and philosophical attitudes to astrology, in relation to the notions of free will and predestination, is the concern of this study
