Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Cameron Cross's monograph onVis-o Ramin is a highly ambitious and original study into a well-known but not extensively studied Persian romance written by Fakhr al-Din Gorgani in 1054 CE.Cross's study opens with an insightful and rich prologue ("Prologue -In Which Love has Many a Tale"), which serves as an introduction to the story of Vis-o Ramin and Cross's proposed mode of engagement.Following the prologue, Cross presents an in-depth discussion of the many dimensions and context of Vis-o Ramin in five consecutive chapters, three of which are specifically connected to the story's main protagonists: Vis ("Ethics -An Affair of Conscience," chapter 2), Mobad ("Politics -The Prisoner of his Skin," chapter 3), and Ramin ("Affect -The Limits of Lyric," chapter 4).These three core chapters are framed by chapter 1, "Phantasy -The Rise of the Romance," and chapter 5, "History -The Death of Romantic Love," followed by a concluding chapter entitled "Epilogue -In Which Many a Tale has Love."This sophisticated structure forms the esthetic frame for a balanced and extremely rich excursion into the (Persian) romance, eloquently written and brimming with fresh views.This study is exceptional in that it foregrounds the genre of the romance in an all-embracing and holistic manner.In the prologue, the foundations are laid for Cross's innovative approach to the story.Here, on the basis of several notions broadly related to connected history, as explored in recent scholarship, Cross presents a new framework for the study of Vis-o Ramin and texts potentially related to this work.Cross convincingly demonstrates how new dimensions of Vis-o Ramin, and the Persian romance by extension, can come to light when viewed and understood through the lens of connectivity and hybridity in place of, or in addition to, the more narrow and exclusive Iranian Studies approach largely prevalent in existing studies.Following a succinct description of the contents of Vis-o Ramin (a full summary is offered in one of three very useful appendices) and perceptive note on some of the more salient aspects of the work, such as the use of "doubles," Cross sets out his refreshing, if very broad, approach to (literary) history with a view to meticulously map the different layers and functions of the romance as exemplified by Vis-o Ramin.Thus, Love at a Crux offers an in-depth literary analysis of the text of Vis-o Ramin alongside a meta view of the romance and its impact and development in the context of Persian text production and beyond.In the prologue of Love at a Crux, Vis-o Ramin is described as a work "on the crossroads of literary history" and a building block of "networks of interrelated texts" informed by Hellenistic learning, Abrahamic monotheism, and the Ancient Novel.Cross introduces the term "Helleno-Abrahamic complex" to frame his inquiry into the interconnectedness of a
