Burton had brought with him to Egypt his translation of The Lusiads, which had been commenced as early as 1847, and at which, as we have seen, he had, from that time onward, inter- r98- T^e mittently laboured. At Cairo he gave his work the finishing touches, and on his return to Trieste in May it was ready for the press. There have been many English translators of Camoens, from Fanshawe, the first, to Burton and Aubertin ; and Burton likens them to the Simoniacal Popes in Dante's Malebolge-pit — each one struggling to trample down his elder brother. <r) Burton's work, which appeared in 1882, was presently followed by two other volumes consisting of a Life of Camoens and a Commentary on The Lusiads, but his version of The Lyrics did not appear till 1884. (J) Inferno, xix. *4 LIFE OF SIR RICHARD BURTON Regarded as a faithful rendering, the book was a success, for Burton had drunk The Lusiads till he was super-saturated with it. Alone among the translators, he had visited every spot alluded to in the poem, and his geographical and other studies had enabled him to elucidate many passages that had baffled his pre decessors. Then, too, he had the assistance of Aubertin, Da Cunha and other able Portuguese scholars and Camoens enthusiasts. Regarded, however, as poetry, the book was a failure, and for the simple reason that Burton was not a poet. Like his Kastdah, it contains noble lines, but on every page we are reminded of the translator's defective ear, annoyed by the unnecessary use of obsolete words, and disappointed by his lack of what Poe called ' ' ethericity . ' The following stanza, which expresses ideas that Burton heartily endorsed, may be regarded as a fair sample of the whole : *' Elegant Phormion's philosophick store see how the practised Hannibal derided when lectured he with wealth of bellick lore and on big words and books himself he prided.

He's come to open trade for “barbaric” England and squeeze out the Portuguese, who try to kill him at every turn. But once on land, he’s captive: the beauty and romance of the exquisite Moghul Empire seduce him from his material goals to a new quest – of supreme sensuality in music, visions, and sacred lovemaking. India, ruled by the son of great Akbar, is about to pass to one of his sons. Hawksworth must choose sides, but will he choose right? The future of England, and of India, depend on it.

  • The Magic Horse
    The Magic Horse Once upon a time far away in the land of Persia a traveller approached the King’s palace. As he looked towards its spiralling towers and gates of gold, he could feel the excitement of the season stirring around him. A tinge of green was spreading across the dusty land and poppies bloomed in the meadows. It was Nowruz, the Spring Festival, when everyone celebrated the start of a new year. The traveller was a man of mysterious powers but, despite all the things he could do, he did not have what he really wanted. His heart beat fast as he thought of today’s plan. For many months he had been working toward his goal. Perhaps today he would achieve his heart’s desire. He joined the procession that was wending its way towards the castle gates. It was a cheerful crowd. Acrobats were limbering up beside the queue of people. Jugglers were juggling. Someone was carrying a cageful of singing birds. Each person was bringing their best skill or treasure to present to the King. It was the custom that the King would bestow a Nowruz gift on anyone that pleased him. When it was the traveller’s turn, he bowed low to the King and wheeled a large box before him. “In this box, Your Majesty, I have a horse such as you have never seen before. Upon its back I can fly through the air with great speed. And, what is more, I can teach anyone else to do the same.” “Let me see this wonder,” said the King.

Ancient Near East I: Syntax and Semantics. John Huehnergard, Uni- versity of Texas, Chair (1:30 p.m.–2:30 p.m.) Picasso Ballroom ∗ 1. Øyvind Bjøru, University of Texas at Austin, and Na’ama Pat-El, The Univer- sity of Texas, Austin On the Historical Syntax of the Subordination Morpheme in Assyrian Akkadian Akkadian marks subordinated verbs with a special morpheme, Babylonian -u and Assyri-an -(¯u)ni; e.g., ˇsa ir-ra-ru ‘the one he curses’ (OB, Anzu, line 22). Semitists and Assyriologists have debated the origin of these morphemes in Akkadian in general and in Assyrian in particular (e.g., Kouwenberg 2010, Hasselbach 2012). In this paper we will concentrate on the syntax and distribution of the morpheme in Assyrian, where it is morphologically complex and its syntax differs significantly from Babylonian. We will argue that this morpheme becomes generalized in this dialect, shifting from being part of the Assyrian TAM markers with restricted distribution, to acquiring a purely syntactic function which is decoupled from the verbal paradigm. In Middle Assyrian, the morpheme is attested on all verbal and deverbal predicates, with no restriction, including with verbs carrying other suffixes, such as pronominal and ventive. The most interesting development, however, is attested in Neo-Assyrian, where the morpheme is used to mark the right-most edge of the subordinated sentence, no matter what element is located there, including pronominal subjects in nominal sentences; e.g., LU´ la ´u-da a-a-´uˇsu-tu-´u-ni ‘I don’t know who this man is’ (SAA 10, 280: r1-2).

  • A Structural Approach to the Arabian Nights
    AWEJ. Special Issue on Literature No.2 October, 2014 Pp. 125- 136 A Structural Approach to The Arabian Nights Sura M. Khrais Department of English Language and Literature Princess Alia University College Al-Balqa Applied University Amman, Jordan Abstract This paper introduces a structural study of The Arabian Nights, Book III. The structural approach used by Vladimir Propp on the Russian folktales along with Tzvetan Todorov's ideas on the literature of the fantastic will be applied here. The researcher argues that structural reading of the chosen ten stories is fruitful because structuralism focuses on multiple texts, seeking how these texts unify themselves into a coherent system. This approach enables readers to study the text as a manifestation of an abstract structure. The paper will concentrate on three different aspects: character types, narrative technique and setting (elements of place). First, the researcher classifies characters according to their contribution to the action. Propp's theory of the function of the dramatist personae will be adopted in this respect. The researcher will discuss thirteen different functions. Then, the same characters will be classified according to their conformity to reality into historical, imaginative, and fairy characters. The role of the fairy characters in The Arabian Nights will be highlighted and in this respect Vladimir's theory of the fantastic will be used to study the significance of the supernatural elements in the target texts. Next, the narrative techniques in The Arabian Nights will be discussed in details with a special emphasis on the frame story technique. Finally, the paper shall discuss the features of place in the tales and show their distinctive yet common elements.

  • Homoeroticism in the Early Ottoman Empire
    Rosinko 1 Homoeroticism in the Early Ottoman Empire Grant Rosinko “In our time, the popularity of beardless youths, smooth-cheeked boys, and well- behaved lads, whose sweet beauty is apparent, exceeds the popularity [women] possessed of beauty and loveliness…Furthermore, smooth-cheeked lads are loving friends and companions to their masters both on campaign and at home. But, from that perspective, those moon faces of the female gender are neither constant friends nor close companions.” — Ottoman Poet Mustafa ‘Ali on Etiquette1 European travel accounts of the Ottoman Empire from the eighteen hundreds often remark on the moral depravity of sexual practices, especially of what is termed as “sodomy.” The observant English traveler Adolphus Slade, a naval officer who often wrote well informed, balanced and even empathetic accounts remarked with disgust “boys fetch a much higher price than girls for evident reasons: in the East, unhappily, they are also subservient to pleasure.”2 These narratives painted the Ottomans as sexually perverse creating the image of a morally deprived east. In the words of a U.S. naval officer Walter Colton, “The Turk’s morality flows from a different source.”3 By the time these encounters were taking place, Ottoman and European sexuality had greatly diverged, as is seen in the shock and condemnation expressed by European travelers. However, it appears that it was not the Ottomans whose sexual practices diverged, so much as it was the Europeans. Homoerotic 1 Andrews, Walter G., and Mehmet Kalpakli.
