A History of Classical Malay Literature
This is a detailed, narrative–based history of Classical Malay Literature. It covers a wide range of Malay texts, including folk literature; the influence of the Indian epics and shadow theatre; Panji tales; the transition from Hindu to Muslim literary models; Muslim literature; framed tales; theological literature; historical literature; legal codes; and the dominant forms of poetry, the pantun and syair. The author describes the background to each of these particular literary periods. He engages in depth with specific texts, their various manuscripts, and their contents. In so doing, he draws attention to the historical complexity of tradisional Malay society, its worldviews, and its place within the wider framework of human experience. Dr. Liaw’s History of Classical Malay Literature will be of benefit to beginning students of Malay Literature and to established scholars alike. It can also be read with benefit by those with a wider interest in Comparative Literature and in Southeast Asian culture in general.
Sovereign Women in a Muslim Kingdom
The Islamic kingdom of Aceh was ruled by queens for half of the 17th century. Was female rule an aberration? Unnatural? A violation of nature, comparable to hens instead of roosters crowing at dawn? Indigenous texts and European sources offer different evaluations. Drawing on both sets of sources, this book shows that female rule was legitimised both by Islam and adat (indigenous customary laws), and provides original insights on the Sultanah's leadership, their relations with male elites, and their encounters with European envoys who visited their court. The book challenges received views on kingship in the Malay world and the response of indigenous polities to east-west encounters in Southeast Asia's Age of Commerce.
Tawarikh Melayu dan Melaka
“...penerbitan esei-esei ini juga digerakkan oleh rasa tidak senang penulis terhadap beberapa orang yang berlagak sarjana ilmu tawarikh tetapi menulis hal-hal dongeng ciptaannya sendiri yang didakwanya sebagai sejarah, tanpa mengemukakan dalil sahih yang menjadi landasan penulisan ilmu tawarikh atau ilmu sejarah.” Dalam karya terbarunya ini, Prof. Emeritus Ahmat Adam membincangkan zaman silam Melaka dan kaitannya dengan tawarikh bangsa Melayu. Esei-esei yang terkumpul dalam buku ini adalah hasil daripada penyelidikan beliau, dan antara topik yang dibincangkan ialah penaklukan kesultanan Melayu Melaka oleh bangsa Portugis, perihal Laksamana Melaka yang bergelar Hang Tuha (bukan “Tuah”), dan warisan budaya Nusantara seperti ilmu huruf serta hubungannya dengan permasalahan dan makna huruf al-Qur’an yang sangat mempengaruhi para sarjana zaman dahulu.

The Qur'an in the Malay-Indonesian World
The largely Arabo-centric approach to the academic study of tafsir has resulted in a lack of literature exploring the diversity of Qur'anic interpretation in other areas of the Muslim-majority world. The essays in The Qur'an in the Malay-Indonesian World resolve this, aiming to expand our knowledge of tafsir and its history in the Malay-Indonesian world. Highlighting the scope of Qur'anic interpretation in the Malay world in its various vernaculars, it also contextualizes this work to reveal its place as part of the wider Islamic world, especially through its connections to the Arab world, and demonstrates the strength of these connections. The volume is divided into three parts written primarily by scholars from Malaysia and Indonesia. Beginning with a historical overview, it then moves into chapters with a more specifically regional focus to conclude with a thematic approach by looking at topics of some controversy in the broader world. Presenting new examinations of an under-researched topic, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Islamic studies and Southeast Asian studies.
The System of Classical Malay Literature
Scholarly works considering traditional Malay letters from a literary point of view are scarce. In this book, classical Malay literature of the 16th through the 19th centuries is viewed in the context of more than a millennium of medieval Malay letters. In the first part, based on a reconstruction of the literary self-awareness of the Malays, a model is offered of classical Malay literature as an integral, hierarchically arranged a ‘anthropomorphic’ system, the impetus for its formation being the Islamization of the Malay world. A study of the origin and evolution of all genres of Malay literature, as well as an analysis of some exemplary works with special reference to their poetics, pr...
