Charts ideological struggle in the Egyptian novel and the fascinating ways in which it engages with religion and religious themes. This is an in-depth, original survey of religion in the modern Arabic novel. Tracing the relationship from the genesis of the form in the early twentieth century to present, the book explores the struggle between religious and secular discourse as it is played out on the pages of the Egyptian novel. Through close readings of representative works, the book reveals the manifold ways in which the Egyptian novel has engaged with Islam, Christianity, Sufism, myth, ritual, scripture and religious intertextuality.
