Portrait of an Eighth-Century Gentleman
In the book, Hämeen-Anttila studies the mechanisms of change in early narratives, showing how Arabic anecdotes developed and were modified by a series of authors during both their oral and literary transmission, changing a historical person into a literary character. Detailed chapters discuss Khalid in his various roles and analyse the literary techniques of the stories.
