Well-Tempered Reader - The Legitimization of Adab in the Arabic Literary Tradition

"Guided by the heritage of a millennial tradition, Sarah Bin Tyeer paves the way for cultural renewal by resurrecting the universal dimension of classical Arabic letters."--Stefan Sperl, Professor Emeritus of Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies, SOAS University of London

"A tour de force--erudite, original, and profoundly insightful. Tracing adab across centuries and genres, Bin Tyeer reveals its role as a critical and ethical framework grounded in murūʾa--the ideal of the human defined by intellectual virtue, moral resolve, and cultivated ways of reading."--Sarra Tlili, Associate Professor of Arabic Language and Literature, University of Florida
