520 | |a A critical analysis of the intersection between nationalism, literature and space in modern Egyptian fiction Includes close readings of literary texts by 11 Egyptian writers from the 1960s generation: Sonallah Ibrahim, Gamal al-Ghitani, Ibrahim Aslan, Radwa Ashour, Edwar al-Kharrat, Ibrahim Abdel Meguid, Abd al-Hakim Qasim, Yusuf al-Qaid, Yahya Taher Abdullah, Bahaa Taher and Muhammad al-BisatiTheorizes the connection between rural, urban and exilic space in Egyptian literary productionProvides a broad understanding of the social, political and economic changes that took place in Egypt and their influence upon the work of these writersExpands beyond the boundaries of a single decade to show how this literary generation transformed the cultural landscape and remains relevant todayIn 1960s Egypt a group of writers exploded onto the literary scene, transforming the aesthetic landscape. Space in Modern Egyptian Fiction explores how this literary generation presents a marked shift in the representation of rural, urban and exilic space, reflecting a disappointment with the project of the postcolonial nation-state in Egypt.Combining a sociological approach to literature with detailed close readings, Yasmine Ramadan explores the spatial representations that embodied this shift within the Egyptian literary scene and the disappearance of an idealized nation in the Egyptian novel. This study provides a robust examination of the emergence and establishment of some of the most significant writers in modern Egyptian literature, and their influence across six decades, while also tracing the social, economic, political and aesthetic changes that marked this period in Egypt’s contemporary history. | ||
