Summary, etc. <br/>According to Aristotle, a well-crafted recognition scene is one of the basic constituents of a successful narrative. It is the point when hidden facts and identities come to light́⁰₄in the classic instance, a son discovers in horror that his wife is his mother and his children are his siblings. Aristotle coined the term ́⁰anagnÃþrisiś⁰₉ for the concept. In this book Philip F. Kennedy shows how 'recognition' is key to an understanding of how one reads values and meaning into, or out of, a story. He analyses texts and motifs fundamental to the Arabic literary tradition in five case studies: the Quŕ⁰₉an; the biography of Muhammad; Joseph in classical and medieval re-tellings; the ́⁰₈deliverance from adversitý⁰₉ genre and picaresque narratives
