The Arabian Nights offers not only a timeless means of escape and entertainment but also a wealth of topics for academic research and contemplation. Created by TWU students, Elizabeth Headrick, Brittany Forrest, Bethany Powell, and Elizabeth Anderson, this website's aim is to explore five of this work's most essential aspects with the added benefit of helpful study questions. Through exploring the topics presented on these pages, we hope the viewer will be introduced to the wealth of narrative structures, themes, characters, and methods of adaptation that effect readers' perceptions of Arabian Nights. The Arabian Nights provides a glimpse into a culture and tradition that deserves to be explored by the modern reader. We hope this website will accomplish, at least on a small level, such a task.
