Richard Bussmann, University of Cologne {"}Hany Rashwan's study opens a new window on ancient Egyptian literature.

I make the argument in my book that the main aesthetic underlying post-10 th-century classical Arabic literary theory was one of wonder; that is, poetic beauty was evaluated based on the ability of language to evoke an experience of discovery and wonder in the listener.A. in Islamic Texts with a concentration in theology and philosophy at Zaytuna College in Berkeley, CA.

In all cases, many human experiences induce emotion, and the most human of activities, those cognitive in nature, are not exempt. After that, I started seeing wonder everywhere, not just in Aristotelian poetics, but also in treatises on poetry and eloquence outside of the Aristotelian tradition, as well as in works on the inimitability of the Quran.
