- "This book offers a unique analysis of letter-writing in the Middle Islamic period. Writing letters was an important component of intellectual life at that time, telling us much about the cultural history of pre-modern Islamic society." "Focusing on the notion of the power of the pen, the author looks at the wider context of epistolography, relating it to the power structures of Islamic society in that period. He also attempts to identify some of the similarities and differences between Muslim modes of letter-writing and those of western cultures." "Readers will find detailed explanations of how letter-writing in that culture was much more than a vehicle of artistic prose. They will also learn about the conflict between writing and orality in Islamic society during the pre-Modern period."--Jacket.
