Pinault, David, author. Story-Telling Techniques in the Arabian Nights / David Pinault. First edition. Leiden, The Netherlands : E.J. Brill, [1992] ©1992 1 online resource (xi, 262 pages). text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Studies in Arabic Literature Series ; Volume 15 Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. This work comprises a literary comparison of surviving alternative versions of selected narrative-cycles from the Nights. Pinault draws on the published Arabic editions - especially Bulaq, MacNaghten, and the fourteenth-century Galland text recently edited by Mahdi - as well as unpublished Arabic manuscripts from libraries in France and North Africa. The study demonstrates that significantly different versions have survived of some of the most famous tales from the Nights. Pinault notes how individual manuscript redactors employed - and sometimes modified - formulaic phrases and traditional narrative topoi in ways consonant with the themes emphasized in particular versions of a tale. He also examines the redactors' modification of earlier sources - Arabic chronicles and Islamic religious treatises, geographers' accounts and medieval legends - for specific narrative goals. Comparison of the narrative structure of diverse story-collection also sheds new light on the relationship of the embedded subordinate-narrative to the overarching frame-tale. Description based on print version record. Includes bibliographical references and index. Narration (Rhetoric) Storytelling. 9789004095304 Studies in Arabic literature ; Volume 15. |
