Geoffrey Nash Bücher

A spirited young woman copes with the suit of a snobbish gentleman as well as the romantic entanglements of her sisters.

Examines the English writings of four twentieth-century Anglo-Arab and Arab- American writers.

Geoffrey Nash explores the emergence of the revolutionary Babis and reformist Baha'is and their conflict with mainstream Shi'a Muslims in Iran, and of the parallel Ahmadi movement in North India. Comparing these movements shows that, together, they define important aspects of Islamic modernity.
