Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling look at how European literary and cultural traditions were transformed through contact with those of the East. The author analyzes how this was first evident in the use of themes and motifs from Arabic and Persian literature, but that the form of Western literary genres then began to develop new shapes to accommodate these Eastern influences. The author shows that these new forms that emerged were not a simple blend of East and West, but rather a new synthesis that created a uniquely Western literature that maintained its connection to its own literary traditions. These changes can first be seen in the stories of Chaucer and Boccaccio, move to full flower in Shakespeare, and continue on into the works of later authors such as Goethe and Flaubert.
