"Analyses the narrative function of Khārijism in 9th- and 10th-century Islamic historiography.
The first book-length literary study of Khārijism. Sheds new light on the creation
of historical memory in early Islamic historiography. Emphasises the importance of
literary approaches to early Islamic history. Calls for a reassessment of historical
Khārijism based on the findings of this literary analysis. Why are stories told about
the Khārijites - purported rebels and heretics? From the Khārijites' origins at the
Battle of Ṣiffīn in 657 CE until the death of the caliph ʿAbd al-Malik b. Marwān in
705 CE, this exhaustive literary analysis provides a fresh perspective on Khārijite
history as depicted in early Islamic historiography.The Islamic tradition portrays
Khārijism as a heretical movement of militantly pious zealots, a notion largely reiterated
by what little modern scholarship there is on the Khārijites. Hannah-Lena Hagemann
moves away from the usual positivist reconstructions of Khārijite history 'as it really
was' and instead examines its narrative function in early Islamic historiography.
The results of this literary analysis highlight the need for a serious reassessment
of the historical phenomenon of Khārijism as it is currently understood in scholarship"
