Chapters in literature and criticism

The great writer "Taha Hussein" is a prestigious scientific and literary character. He was not only limited to his outstanding literary talent, but also a significant literary critic, and formed a unique and important school in the field of literary criticism. He adopted an objective scientific view of critical analysis, as he moved away from personal and psychological effects and traditional schools. His vision of literary work was a social phenomenon that stems from the writer''s influence on his group, culture and social environment. Consequently, his criticism was based on a comprehensive reading of the society in which the writer grew up. In this book, Taha Hussein presented some critical readings of literary works important to many Arab writers, such as Akkad and Al -Hakim. Not only that, but also discussed some literary and cultural issues, which have turned into intellectual battles with highly elegant intellectual battles between him and senior thinkers. All this critical effort aims to reach the truth and highlight the foundations of sophisticated Arabic literature, which makes Taha Hussein a pioneering figure and a symbol of enlightened critical thinking in Arabic literature.
