Specificatii
To explore the life of Mahmud Sami al-Barudi is to gain a nuanced
perspective on the many facets--the perils and promises--of change
in the rapidly modernizing Egypt of the nineteenth century.
Al-Barudi, sole scion of a Turko-Circassian elite family that clung
precariously to a legacy of position and power, turned his military
education into a government career that ended with his elevation to
the office of prime minister. He served briefly before the British
invasion in 1882put an end to Egypt's independence for seventy
years. As prime minister, al-Barudi focused on drafting and passing
into law Egypt's first constitution, an achievement that was
summarily swept aside by the British occupation. Similarly, the
prime minister's efforts to modernize and improve theeducational
system were systematically undermined by the policies of colonial
rule in the 1880s and 1890s. Although his reforms ultimately
failed, al-Barudi was recognized among his contemporaries as the
most consistent supporter of liberalism and eventually democratic
representation and constitutionalism. For his boldness, he paid a
price. He was exiled by the British to Ceylon for seventeen years
and returned to Egypt in 1901 as a blind, prematurely aged, and
brokenman. Even before he made an impact as a political leader,
al-Barudi had made a name for himself as the most original and
adventurous poet of his generation. DeYoung charts the development
of al-Barudi's poetry through his youth, his career in government,
his philosophical and elegiac reflections while in exile, and his
return to Egypt at the beginning of a new century. Connecting
thethemes found in his more influential poems--among the more than
400 lyrics he composed--to the turbulent events of his political
life and to his equally fierce desire to innovate artistically
throughout his literary career, DeYoung offers a vivid portrait of
one of the most influential pioneers of Arabic poetry.
