Azhar V. A

Ph.D. researcher in Comparative Literature at the University of Kerala, specialising in Arabic-European literary relations. My research focuses on narrative stylistics, medieval poetics, and cross-cultural intellectual history, with particular emphasis on comparative analysis of Abū al-‘Alā’ al-Ma’arrī’s Risalat al-Ghufran and Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. My work aims to develop a stylistics-based framework for understanding parallel literary innovation across Arabic and European traditions.
