Part biography, part collection of critical essays, this volume celebrates Badawi's immense contribution to the field and explores his role as a public intellectual in the Arab world and the west.Key FeaturesIllustrates the critical affiliations and teaching methods of the outstanding scholar of modern Arabic literature in the 20th centuryAssesses some of the problems faced by an outstanding intellectual and translator in bridging Arabic and western cultures Includes studies from eminent specialists who were taught by Badawi, showing the type of work he inspired, including Julia Bray, Hilary Kilpatrick, Marliyn Booth, Miriam Cooke and Paul Starkey
