Book Synopsis The Kingdom of Sicily, 1100-1250 by : Karla Mallette
Download or read book The Kingdom of Sicily, 1100-1250 written by Karla Mallette and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-06-06 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Muslim invaders conquered Sicily in the ninth century, they took control of a weakened Greek state in cultural decadence. When, two centuries later, the Normans seized control of the island, they found a Muslim state just entering its cultural prime. Rather than replace the practices and idioms of the vanquished people with their own, the Normans in Sicily adopted and adapted the Greco-Arabic culture that had developed on the island. Yet less than a hundred years later, the cultural and linguistic mix had been reduced, a Romance tradition had come to dominate, and Sicilian poets composed the first body of love lyrics in an Italianate vernacular. Karla Mallette has written the first literary history of the Kingdom of Sicily in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Where other scholars have separated out the island's literature along linguistic grounds, Mallette surveys the literary production in Arabic, Latin, Greek, and Romance dialects, in addition to the architectural remains, numismatic inscriptions, and diplomatic records, to argue for a multilingual, multicultural, and coherent literary tradition. Drawing on postcolonial theory to consider institutional and intellectual power, the exchange of knowledge across cultural boundaries, and the containment and celebration of the other that accompanies cultural transition, the book includes an extensive selection of poems and documents translated from the Arabic, Latin, Old French, and Italian. The Kingdom of Sicily, 1100-1250 opens up new venues for understanding the complexity of a place and culture at the crossroads of East and West, Islam and Christianity, tradition and innovation.
Book Synopsis Ibn Hamdis the Sicilian by : William Granara
Download or read book Ibn Hamdis the Sicilian written by William Granara and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-07-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Abd al-Jabbar ibn Hamdis (1055–1133) survives as the best-known figure from four centuries of Arab-Islamic civilisation on the island of Sicily. There he grew up in a society enriched by a century of cultural development but whose unity was threatened by competing warlords. After the Normans invaded, he followed many other Muslims in emigrating, first to North Africa and then to Seville, where he began his career as a court poet. Although he achieved fame and success in his time, Ibn Hamdis was forced to bear witness to sectarian strife among the Muslims of both Sicily and Spain, and the gradual success of the Christian reconquest, including the decline of his beloved homeland. Through his verse, William Granara examines his life and times.

Download or read book Birds of Sicily written by Michelle Reale and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-09 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds of Sicily is an exploration into the geography of proximity. Dipping relentlessly and empathically into the "shadow of lack," Reale unravels travel to reveal the "life of hard work and paradox" that links us all. -Cameron Conaway, Author of Malaria, Poems Michelle Reale's Birds Of Sicily is an outstandingly powerful poetry collection which has personal resonance for me due to our shared Sicilian background. In these wonderfully written poems, Michelle explores themes of migration and finding one's place in a new, unfamiliar world and culture. Not much literature is written on the Italian-American experience and Reale's work is a most welcome contribution to that end. This is a work you will come back to again and again. -Julian Gallo, Author of Breathe Michelle Reale fashions lines that bite and burn. The delicate yet fanged poetry in Birds of Sicily draws from the depths of history and blends voluptuous landscapes with raw depictions of human fragility. Weaving and blending together various poetic forms and structures, the language of each piece sings. This collection, both universal and deeply personal, remains with the reader long after they've turned the final page. -Janie Cannarella, Editor-in-Chief, HOOT Review
