The premise of the conference was to exploit the immense riches of Arabic poetry in the reconstruction of Arab history. The history considered includes both 'event history' and the history of culture in its widest sense. Poetry included in this examination includes "the value of poetry for historical writing...[and also] the historical relationship between the two autonomous fields, i.e., poetry and history." -- Introduction.
