Asceticism and immorality, the ancient and the modern In the poetry of Abu Nawas
Abstract
Most ancient and modern critics agreed that the second century AH was an era of distinction and development that occurred in literature in various aspects of poetry and prose. The entry of many peoples and tribes under the Islamic state had a great impact on the introduction of many new words and meanings that poets used in that period to create a new approach and structure for the Arabic poem, and a number of poets’ names shone. Those who helped in the poetic development in this era, the most famous of whom are Abu Nawas and Bashar Ibn Burd. One of the most prominent features of the development was the development of styles and words. Words in this era went beyond using foreign structures that entered them from the mixing between races, in addition to the emergence of jurisprudential, scientific, and philosophical terms. However, this led to the emergence of the phenomenon of melody and departure from the morphological standard, as well as the emergence of rhetoric and its development at the hands of Abu Nawas, who presented types of poetic arts, even among contradictions, and renewed them. This study revolves around this renewal.
