Roger Allen provides a comprehensive introductory survey of literary texts in Arabic, from their unknown beginnings in the fifth century AD to the present day. It also contains works from Islam's sacred text, the Qur'an, and popular literature including The Arabian Nights and a wealth of poetry, narrative prose, drama and criticism.
