Topic: The Format Of Authority Ibn-Rashiq D. 456A.H./1064 A.D. Exposition Of Literary Criticism In Al- Umda

Description: &p style=;text-align: justify; ;&Interest in classical Arabic literary criticism began in the early twentieth century, and many of the Arabic writers of the first half of the century dabbled in the subject. Literary criticism which I take to mean not only judgements of individual books and authors, judicial criticism, judgement, practical criticism, evidences of literary taste, but mainly what has been thought about the principles and theories of literature, its nature, its creation, its functions, its effects, its relations to the other activities of man, its kinds, devices and techniques, its origin and history is designated in the Arabic language today by term al-Naqd al-Adabi. However, al-Naqd al-Adabi as a term delineating the general area of literary study is a very recent phenomenon in the history of Arabic literature; it is a twentieth century concoction that has gained wide currency in the last few decades, but was not known as such in classical Arabic writings. Without a name to define it, any assertion of its existence in the classical period is understandably suspected. The perceptive medieval literary critic, Ibn-Rashiq al-Qayrawani, once likened the ancient and the modern Arab poets to builders and decorators respectively, after the ancients had erected the edifice and completed the construction, the modern came along to decorate and embellish the building. The analogy is indeed telling, it underlines the basic difference in the function and style of both ancients and moderns, a difference which can be detected even earlier than Ibn Rashiq presumably believed.
