Description
Charles F. Horne edited a fourteen-volume anthology, The Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East, and volume six covers medieval Arabic, Moorish, and Turkish material. Horne's project gave Western readers the essential texts of Asian civilizations in English dress, sampled widely across scripture, poetry, and wisdom. Volume six turns to the Islamic world's literary heritage.
Readers of Horne's era often met these traditions first through such anthologies, with introductions framing unfamiliar material. Selections rather than complete works are the method here, chosen to represent range. As with its companions, the volume now serves two uses: a taste of the literatures themselves, and evidence of how early twentieth-century America packaged the East.
