Abstract |
: |
This study on the relationship between poetry and narration acquires particular importance, addressing as it does an issue that, despite being broached by Arab critics hundreds of years ago, pertains to modern critical studies.The relationship between poetry and narration is also part of the current interrelationship occurring between the various literary genres, genres which crossover at certain points irrespective of their independence.The study, therefore, focuses on the relationship between poetry and narration in pre- Islamic poetry, where some literary genres are not in evidence, genres such as the epic and drama, at a time when poetry was predominantly confined to the lyrical poetry of song which contains – unintentionally and in spite of the poets themselves – events and clues to stories, making up in some way for the lack of the aforementioned genres.The great poet Al- Aasha was a product of that fertile native environment. Noted for his inclination towards narration in some of his poems by the ancient critics, Al- Aasha was a creative force in this area, displaying a poetic quality of which I have become aware during the course of my study of his life and work, and a quality that has not gone unnoticed by some other researchers.Although this study refrains from going into the themes in which his narrative leanings find their outlet – themes such as the desert and its creatures, women, wine, war, history, the sea, tales of generosity, and others – I have found it necessary to examine the narrative elements of his poetry.While these glimpses of narration cannot be regarded as containing the complete elements required of a narrative tale, Al- Aasha`s skillful employment of an abundance of descriptions of time, location and character in his poetry can nevertheless be observed to closely resemble the narrative form.This study concludes, however, that despite producing these possibly unintentional narrative descriptions with noteworthy talent, Al-Aasha was not a professional story- teller, but was first and foremost a prodigious poet whose inclinations led him into the realm of narrative story- telling in his poetry. |
