Introduction to the Political Poem in the Umayyad Era.

Abstract

The research aimed to trace the patterns of the introduction to the poem in political poetry in the Umayyad era. The inductive-analytical approach was adopted and the research came in four sections; the first: The type that rebels against the traditional premise and declares its revolution, the second: The type that rebels against the premise that is not declared. the third: The type that uses the introduction for a purely political purpose, the fourth: The type that adheres to the traditional approach.

  The most important results are: The styles of the introduction to the poem in Umayyad political poetry varied from a traditional style to a style that rebelled against it, whether explicitly stated or not. However, what is new in the styles is the use of the introduction for a political purpose.
