Recensioner

An uneven collection of academic treatments of the migration of the Arabian Nights into other literatures/cultures, mostly English literature but also English theater, and Japanese and Indian theater. A handful of the essays are excellant -- my favorites are:

"The Collector of Worlds: Richard Burton, Cosmopolitan Translator of the Nights", Paulo Lemos Horts;
"The Rings of Budur and Qamar al-Zaman", Wendy Doniger;
"Borges and the Missing Pages of the Nights", Phillip F. Kennedy (one of the editors).

The rest I suggest you read very quickly.
