Description
Muhammad Iqbal: Islam, Aesthetics and Postcolonialism offers a fresh perspective on the intersection of Islamic studies, postcolonial literature, and aesthetics. This in-depth analysis explores how Iqbal's poetry reflects his Islamist selfhood, examining the interplay between poetic tradition and creative innovation. Iqbal's work is also considered within its geopolitical context, exploring the relationship between the modern West and a reconstructed Islam. The book draws on Iqbal's personal letters to gain insight into his inner conflicts as expressed in his poetry. By concentrating on the complexity of his work, this study eschews standard appropriations into specific political agendas. This book will be of interest to readers seeking to understand the intellectual and political history of modern South Asia, colonialism, postcolonialism, Islamic studies, and modern South Asian literature.
