註釋Surveys the many and varied ways in which food appears in classical Arabic literature, including pre-Islamic poetry, the Koran, Islamic poetry and tales, the "Thousand and One Nights," and popular genres such as the adab-anthologies and satires. Focusing more on dishes than foodstuffs, on concoctions rather than ingredients, van Gelder is concerned with how food is depicted, as well as how literary texts are shaped by the theme of food. Explores the connections between food and a great variety of themes central to Arabic culture. Investigates the representations of stereotypical diets to distinguish different types of people -- contrasting, for example, Sufis and Bedouins, princes and peasants, aesthetes and "women of easy virtue."
