Poetry and Poets: Studies in Literary Criticism and Research

غلاف_كتاب_في_الشعر_والشعراء_والنقد_والتحقيق.jpg


In this book, Dr. Ibrahim Al-Kufahi presents a range of intellectual, critical, and aesthetic analyses of Arabic poetry. He highlights the efforts of Arab poets to create modern poetic expression by examining their writings through the lenses​ of language, style, imagination, and artistic structure. In an effort to place aesthetic conceptions within their actual Arab context, the book also includes readings of works by several Jordanian and Arab poets, linking them to the Arab rhetorical and critical tradition. The author also discusses the challenges of editing traditional literary texts, outlining how rigorous scholarly editing contributes to the preservation of literary heritage and examining the approaches and experiences of a few well-known editors. Because it offers a holistic vision that integrates applied literary criticism with the editing of classical texts, the book is of great significance to both authors and poets. By bridging the gap between the Arab critical tradition and contemporary methods of evaluating poetic texts, it enhances the Arabic library with a study that combines scholarly understanding with literary taste.

The club's 2005 performance of William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing," which Dr. Hala managed, directed, and supervised, was one of its most prominent early successes. This play became a trailblazing example of how to utilize theater to enhance children's English language proficiency. A presentation of the play at the Jerash Festival in the Palace of Culture subsequently served as an official acknowledgement of the accomplishment, displaying student ability and enhancing the department's and the university's visibility at national cultural events.
