معايير وحدة القصيدة العربية القديمة بين النقد القديم والحديث

Abstract

The term "unity of the poem" is synonymous with "thematic unity," "organic unity," or "unity of purpose," as they share similarities and overlaps. Critics use any of these terms to denote the poem's completeness and the organic connection between its parts. However, early Arab critics did not use this term; rather, their discourses allude to it. It is noteworthy that each critic had their own criteria. Critics addressed the issue of unity in the poem from several angles, including aesthetic, psychological, cohesive, semantic, and formal aspects. Following this, we must examine the ethical values of the Arabic poem, then the rhythmic structures of the classical poem, focusing on internal rhythm. The research concludes with a summary of its findings and a list of its sources.
