101 Middle Eastern Tales and Their Impact on Western Oral Tradition
Autor Ulrich Marzolphen Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 aug 2020
Marzolph focuses on the originally Oriental tales that became part and parcel of modern Western oral tradition. Since antiquity, the Orient constitutes the quintessential Other vis--vis the European cultures. While delineation against this Other served to define and reassure the Self, the Orient also constituted a constant source of fascination, attraction, and inspiration. Through oral retellings, numerous tales from Muslim tradition became an integral part of European oral and written tradition in the form of learned treatises, medieval sermons, late medieval fabliaux, early modern chapbooks, contemporary magazines, and more. In present times, when national narcissisms often acquire the status of strongholds delineating the Us against the Other, it is imperative to distinguish, document, visualize, and discuss the extent to which the West is not only indebted to the Muslim world but also shares common features with Muslim narrative tradition. 101 Middle Eastern Tales and Their Impact on Western Oral Tradition is an important contribution to this debate and a vital work for scholars, students, and readers of folklore and fairy tales.
