Edited by James E. Montgomery, University of Cambridge, UK,; Roger Allen, University of Pennsylvania, USA and Philip F. Kennedy, New York University, USA

Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Literatures is a monograph series devoted to aspects of the literatures of the Near and Middle East and North Africa both modern and pre-modern.

It is the editors' objective to foster the comparative and multi-disciplinary investigation of the written and oral literary products of this area.
