Arabic and Comparative Literature and Persian

About this course

Arabic, comparative literature, and Persian is a combination that situates two of the world's most significant literary and cultural languages within the broadest possible intellectual frame. Arabic is the most widely used language of the Middle East and North Africa, the medium of Islamic scholarship across centuries, and the vehicle for a literary tradition of extraordinary richness. Persian, the language of Iran, Afghanistan, and parts of Central Asia, carries one of the most celebrated poetic traditions in world literature, including the work of Rumi, Hafiz, and Omar Khayyam. Comparative literature then opens up the study of texts across all genres, periods, and languages, developing the critical tools to read without borders and to understand how literary traditions speak to one another across time and place.
