INSPIRATION FROM LITERARY HERITAGE IN THE NOVEL SAJJAAD 'AJAMI: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

Abstract

This article revolves around the inspiration from Literary Heritage in the novel "Sajjad Ajami" (2013) by the Syrian author of the new generation, Shahla Al-Ujaili. It is a heritage-inspired novel from the Abbasid era, highlighting the achievements and prosperity of Muslims during that period. However, this article focuses on aspects of drawing inspiration from literary heritage through two rhetorical terms: "quotation and insertion," and the various form of their utilization contextually, such as similar and contrasting contexts, and from the perspective of its technical structure, and the occurrence of this inspiration in narrative or dialogue through characters' speech. The research begins with an introduction emphasizing the importance of the topic, as it urges modern readers to familiarize themselves with the authenticity of heritage language and to use its ancient style instead of the modern and foreign features that have increased in the novel over time, distancing the readers from the authentic Arabic sources flowing from Al-Qur'an, the Hadith, and Arabic poetry. The research also presents the definitions and theoretical types of inspiration. The following pages delve into the study of inspiration through the insertion of poetry and the quotation of religious texts within narrative models, followed by the most important research findings.
