An Islamicate turn in world literature? Introduced in the 1970s, Islamicate never seemed likely as a descriptor supplanting Muslim and Islamic, but its ascent now seems imminent due to this sparkling collection of essays, from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean, with fresh insight and apt analysis in every chapter.

- Bruce B. Lawrence, Marcus Family Humanities Professor of Religion Emeritus, Duke University,

Like the regions of the map on this book's cover, the places the contributors take us to have long been there but have remained largely uncharted—until now. By bringing together important interventions on the world literature of Islam, Bin Tyeer and Gallien are showing— and leading—the way.

- Professor Shawkat Toorawa, Yale University,

Since its advent, Islam has been a representational force to be reckoned with, cross-pollinating world literatures in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Pacific Ocean and the Americas. Yet, scholarship on Islam in world literatures has been sparse despite its significant presence. This book understands Islamic literary and cultural heritages as dynamic forces, constantly enriched and enlivened by various humanistic traditions in multiple languages, spanning the lives of individuals and societies throughout history. It is also designed to incorporate a variety of themes, influences, ramifications and representations of Islam in world literatures in classical and contemporary contexts. Exploring Islam's presence in world literatures in two strands: on the one hand, examining the orientalist versions and usages of Islam; and on the other hand, analysing the presence of Islam as Islamicate, this book advances a consideration of Islam as an agent in the history of World Literature.
