Yet few remain also as unknown. In English, \u003cem\u003eThe Arabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e is a literary work of relatively recent date--the first versions of the tales appeared in English barely two hundred years ago. The tales are accompanied by a preface, a note on the text, and explanatory annotations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Contexts\" presents three of the oldest witnesses to \u003cem\u003eThe Arabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e in the Arabic tradition, together in English for the first time: an anonymous ninth-century fragment, Al Mas'udi's Muruj al-Dhahab, and Ibn al-Nadim's \u003cem\u003eThe Fihrist\u003c\/em\u003e. Also included are three related works by the nineteenth- and twentieth-century writers Edgar Allan Poe, Marcel Proust, and Taha Husayn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Criticism\" collects eleven wide-ranging essays on \u003cem\u003eThe Arabian Nights\u003c\/em\u003e' central themes by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Josef Horovitz, Jorge Luis Borges, Francesco Gabrieli, Mia Irene Gerhardt, Tzvetan Todorov, Andras Hamori, Heinz Grotzfield, Jerome W.
