The Well-Tempered Reader provides a new understanding of the term adab , a ubiquitous concept in Arabic literature with many meanings. In Sarah R. Bin Tyeer's analysis, adab is more than just a way of writing or the cultivation of moral excellence, as it is often understood. It is rather an ethical way of perceiving, understanding, and living that results from ceaseless critical interaction between the individual and all aspects of his or her social, cultural, natural, and metaphysical environment. Through a close reading of texts from eighth-century Baghdad to nineteenth-century Lebanon, in which adab emerges as a force across historical periods and geographies, Bin Tyeer posits the term as a generative literary and cultural framework and a discursive force for analyzing literary acts. This is the first book-length study of adab as an intellectual institution; examining its role and historical influence in the moral and intellectual formation of the adabized subject, Bin Tyeer reveals the import of adab not only for Arabic literary studies but for comparative literary inquiry.
