How do word lists matter for Arabic literature? From the perspective of Literary and Cultural Studies, this monograph approaches the literary word lists of Ahmad Faris al-Shidyaq (1805/1806-1887), one of the most important Arab intellectuals of the nineteenth century, and discusses them as a fundamental social and cultural critique of his time. In the framework of the 'return to philology' (Edward Said), the book discovers in al-Shidyaq's language thinking an intellectual radicalism and artistic experimentation, which sheds new light on the Nahda, the Arab renewal movement on the eve of modernity.
