Content:
The fascination with the houri, the pure female of Islamic paradise, began long before September 11, 2001. 'The Beauty of the Houri' demonstrates how the ambiguous reward of the houri, mentioned in the Quran and developed in Islamic theological writings, has gained a distinctive place in English and French literature from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century and in digital material in the twenty-first century.
