The meanings of flirting with female poets of Andalusia

Abstract

In our research, we have dealt with the meanings of flirting with female poets of Andalusia, because through our readings of Andalusian literature, we have come across a new color of literary expression that is characterized by boldness, frankness, strength, and violence in expressing the emotions of the female poet, and this color is a new phenomenon in Arabic literature in Andalusia. Levantine literature (The Arab Orient has known a number of female poets.... such as Al-Khansa, Layla Al-Akhiliya, Fadl and Aliyah bint Al-Mahdi, and Niran bint Jaafar bin Musa Al-Hadi... but the number of these is small when compared to the number of female poets in Andalusia, and their poems are limited in quantity, in addition to their submission to an extent What are certain traditions that they could not transgress within the scope of the Arab Levant society, which, whatever was said about its decay and dissolution in certain periods, still held women accountable for their words and actions) (). We add to that that the number of female poets of Andalusia was large and almost comparable to poets in number, as (the desire for poetry and to be satisfied with its systems was not limited to men, but rather returned them to women, so among them were poets who could hardly match poets in number, and among them was a class of skilled philanthropists such as Walada Bint Al-Mustakfi and her student Muhja Al-Qurtubiyya and Hamda Bint Ziyad Al-Moadib known as the women of the Maghrib, Hafsa bint al-Hajj al-Rakuniyya, Aisha bint Ahmad al-Qurtubiyya, and Nazhun al-Qala’a al-Gharnatiyya… They were all described with beauty and grace, except for Aisha, who was enriched with understanding, literature, and eloquence) ().
