Reviews

This timely collection reclaims Washington Irving as a pivotal figure in American literature, casting light on some key works-Mahomet and his Successors, Tales of Alhambra, Conquest of Granada, Life of Mahomet-while putting Islam front and center as a formative presence. Compelling, eye-opening, and necessary. -- Wai Chee Dimock, Yale University
