Taha Hussein and problematic rooting Pre-Islamic Poetry

Abstract

This paper seeks to present Taha Hussein's views concerning the origin of Jahili poetry. Indeed, his hypothesis has remained renewable despite the criticism and resentment of scholars and literary critics. Our concern is to unveil the basis of his hypothesis doubting the origin of Jahili poetry. This was made clear through various inferences that represented a turning point in the history of literature in general and Jahili poetry in particular
