What is Aspects of Islam about?
Excerpt from Aspects of Islam If any stray student of Romance runs through these pages and comes across my reference to the author of Aucassin et Nicolete in the eighth lecture, I trust that he will not think that I have too lightly essayed to settle a serious problem in a field not my own. The fact is that there is a class of popular Arabic romances which exhibit exactly the movement of the cante-fable, the story being told in alternate sections of prose and verse and in such a way that these, to a considerable extent, cover the same matter. Of this the Romance of Bibars, lately printed in full at Cairo, is a good example. I hope to deal with this subject at greater length elsewhere. Again it is a pleasant duty to thank my colleague Professor Gillett for much generous assistance both in talking over points in metaphysics and in reading the whole book in MS. In my wife's debt I am more deeply than ever before for, in truth, her assistance in this book has fallen little short of formal collaboration.
