Abstract "Poet and theologian Rumi is a revered figure in world history. Jamal J. Elias tells the story of the Mevlevis (in European parlance, the "Whirling Dervishes"), the Sufi community that Rumi founded. During a period of political, linguistic, and literary change, from the thirteenth century to the height of the Ottoman Empire, the Mevlevis emerged as an important religious community"-- Provided by publisher.
