520    "The Iraqi poet Nazik al-Mala'ika was one of the most 
       important Arab poets of the twentieth century. Over the 
       course of a four-decade career, her contributions to both 
       the theory and the practice of free verse (or tafʿilah) 
       poetry confirmed her position as a pioneer of Arab 
       modernism. Revolt Against the Sun presents a selection of 
       Nazik al-Mala'ika's poetry in English for the first time. 
       Bringing together poems from each of her published 
       collections, it traces al-Mala'ika's transformation from a
       lyrical Romantic poet in the 1940s to a fervently 
       committed Arab nationalist in the 1970s and 1980s. The 
       translations offer both an overview of her life and work, 
       and an insight into the political and social realities in 
       the Arab world in the decades following the Second World 
       War. Featuring a comprehensive historical and critical 
       introduction, this bilingual reader reveals how one woman 
       transformed the landscape of modern Arabic literature and 
       culture in the twentieth century. It is a key resource for
       students and teachers of Arabic and world literature, as 
       well as for readers interested in discovering an 
       alternative narrative of modern Iraqi culture." --
