Abstract:
The concept of imagination is part of the Arabic poem. Poets of the pre. Islamic times (Jahilite) and subsequent eras had been keen on this topic, as this is closely related to the human identity or self. It also reveals personal experience poets had and describes their feeling and sentimental value. With varying degrees which reflect their feelings and sufferings. For the poet, imagination is an unexpected visit , delight , and a gift.The important of this topic lies in the fact that it helps the poet to strongly express his own sentiments and sufferings. It is an outlet for his feelings. Imagination has its own signification which is not confined to woman’s imagination but extends to other scopes that enable the poet to achieve psychological balance following a state of anxiety and confusion he has experienced.This study has revealed on important theory in the Arabic literature insofar as the phenomenon of imagination is concerned, that is Al - Shareef Al - Murtadhaa’s theory which involves a relationship between the soul and the body and which shows the strong connection between this on the one hand and imagination and dream on the other hand. The point is that it is the soul that sees what it sees in dreams and that this comes in poetry in the form of metaphor.It is in imagination that poets could describe their suffering from the long time they live in, that is ‘night’ Night is a symbol of severe suffering because of its darkness and gloom. The poet finds himself alone fighting hopelessness and anxiety; he lives in a state of psychological forlornness , longing for past memories engraved on their minds and hearts.This study has shown that there are in Arabic literature celebrated figures of their respective eras, but unfortunately totally forgotten in the present era. It is hoped that the present study may pave the way for future researches to show some of these poet’s outstanding contributions to Arabic literature, especially to the concept of imagination. These poets superbly wrote eulogies, elegies, love poems , etc.The study has adopted an analytical approach in dealing with the poems analysed to show what implicitly and explicity these poems involve.This thesis includes an introduction, three chapters, a conclusion, and bibliography. The introduction defines the concept of imagination in language and poetry. It also offers a psychological treatment of imagination from the point of view of psychologists.Chapter one is devoted to studying the motives for imagination on the part of a number of poets of the Abbaside Era, to show imagination means to any one of these poets.The second chapter has dealt with the relationship between imagination and the various purposes of poetry, such as eulogizing, elegizing, flirting, etc. Imagination is closely related to the poet’s psychology.Chapter three offers an artistic treatment of the poetry of imagination via studying poetic image based on figures of speech like simile, metaphor, metoying, and musical rhythm which includes outer music which, in turn, involves rhyme, metre, feet, etc. Furthermore musical rhythm encompasses assonance, pun, paronomasia, repetition, etc. The chapter also summarizes the conclusions arrived at
