Wednesday Hadith

No literary era in the life of nations, which had a share of literature and a share in proficiency in speech and proficiency in it, was devoid of this issue, "the issue of the ancients and the moderns." And this issue did not appear in any era or among a nation of nations, except that it caused great disagreement and violent controversy, and divided Writers, regardless of their different literary arts, are divided into three categories: a group that supports the ancients in an unreserved manner, a group that shows the moderns in an uncompromising manner, and a group that mediates between those and those, and tries to preserve the connection between the ancient literary tradition and its modernity, and to benefit from the summary of what the ancients left out, and to add to it. The fruits that the minds of the modernists invented were produced by progress, and their fruits were the change of circumstances and the change of circumstances. Taha Hussien
