Description

The seventh century poet Tumadir, known as al-Khansa' (a sobriquet that means 'the Snub-nosed Gazelle doe'), survived both her brothers. Her poetic output consists of dirges for her dead brothers. James Montgomery weaves a cahier around his translations from Arabic of a number of these dirges, interspersing observations on several other explorations of death and loss.

Author Biography:

James Montgomery is the Sir Thomas Adams's Professor of Arabic and Fellow of Trinity Hall at the University of Cambridge. He is the author of many works on Arabic letters, including his forthcoming edition and translation of pre-Islamic poems, War Songs and Al-Jahiz: In Praise of Books.
