Reading Byron in Palestine
For his experimental novels and his prose poetry, his vivid oil paintings and his translations of William Faulkner, Samuel Beckett, Edith Sitwell, and others, the Palestinian writer Jabra Ibrahim Jabra (1919-1994) is often considered a central figure of Arab modernism. This article breaks with that convention by considering Jabra's early and enduring interest in Romanticism. Close readings of two key essays, “al-Hurriyyah wa-l-Tufan” (Freedom and…

Looking in particular at a conventionall…

The deportation-meant to incapacitate Islamic militant resistance to the US-brokered peace process…
