This chapter presents the most representative poets of the Abbasid age and the genres in which they excelled: love poetry (al-ʿAbbās ibn al-Aḥnaf), wine poetry (Abū Nuwās), ascetic poetry (Abū l-ʿAtahiya), and panegyric poetry (Abū Tammām, al-Buḥturī, and al-Mutanabbī). After a brief hint at mannerist poetry, the chapter ends with al-Maʿarrī's Luzūmiyyāt (the Risālat al-Ġufrān is analyzed in a separate box in chapter 6). The text alternates biographical elements and stylistical analysis. Additional translation of selected Abbasid odes and pieces are offered in the on-line material.

Abstract
This chapter presents the most representative poets of the Abbasid age and the genres in which they excelled: love poetry (al-ʿAbbās ibn al-Aḥnaf), wine poetry (Abū Nuwās), ascetic poetry (Abū l-ʿAtahiya), and panegyric poetry (Abū Tammām, al-Buḥturī, and al-Mutanabbī). After a brief hint at mannerist poetry, the chapter ends with al-Maʿarrī's Luzūmiyyāt (the Risālat al-Ġufrān is analyzed in a separate box in chapter 6). The text alternates biographical elements and stylistical analysis. Additional translation of selected Abbasid odes and pieces are offered in the on-line material.
