Timothy Clark is a specialist in Romantic and post-Romantic poetics , based at Durham University .Many critics consider Martin Heidegger the most influential , elusive and controversial figure in modern poetics and criticism . However , few students of literature have been directed to his writings on art and poetry. This volume offers such students a bridge to this crucial work. Timothy Clark immerses readers in a new way of thinking, approaching Heideggerian ideas on the limits of 'theory' and of Western thought, his history of being, the origin and death of art, language, literature and poetics . He also covers the controversy of Heidegger 's Nazi involvement .

Assuming no previous knowledge of the subject, this book gives a
rounded and balanced view of Arab literary creativity. 'High'
literature is examined alongside popular folk literature, and the
classical and modern periods, usually treated separately, are presented
together. Cachia's observations are not subordinated to any pre-formed
literary theory, but describe and illustrate the directions taken, in
order to present an overall picture of the field of relevance to the
student of literature as well as to Arabists working in related fields.
