No Western scholar has contributed as much to the study of modern Arabic narrative as has Roger Allen. His doctoral dissertation was the very first Oxford D.Phil. in modern Arabic literature, completed in 1968 under the supervision of Mustafa Badawi. That same year, he took a position in Arabic language and literature at the University of Pennsylvania, the oldest professorial post in Arabic in the United States. Roger Allen has been phenomenally prolific: fifty books and translations, two hundred articles and counting-on Arabic language pedagogy, on translation, on Arabic literary history, criticism and literature. He is also one of the most decorated and acclaimed translators of Arabic literature. The present volume brings together sixteen of Roger Allen's articles on modern Arabic narrative, with a focus on genre, translation and literary history, and features analyses of the works of Rashid Abu Jadrah, Bensalem Himmich, Yusuf Idris, Naguib Mahfouz, and Tayeb Salih.

No scholar has contributed as much to the study of Arabic narrative as Roger Allen, from his 1968 Oxford D. Phil thesis, to his 2017 Teaching the Maqamat in Translation ; In the intervening fifty years, Roger Allen has authored, edited or translated 45 books, and written more than 200 articles. The books include the pioneering The Arabic Novel: An Historical and Critical Introduction (Syracuse University Press, 1982, rev. 1995), and translations of Ben Salem Himmich, Yusuf Idris, Jabra Ibrahim Jabra, Ibrahim al-Koni, Naguib Mahfouz, and May Telmissany. Roger Allen's 200 articles range widely in the areas of language pedagogy, translation theory, literary criticism, and literary history. This volume nevertheless brings together a judicious selection of studies, each significant for the ways in which Allen has illuminated the short story, the novella, the early novel, fiction, intertextuality, translation, autobiography, and historiography. Taken together, they provide a preeminent scholar's invaluable perspective on the histories and genres of modern narrative in Arabic and in translation.
