(The Book "Parkh Parchol" by Arif Abdul Mateen: A Critical Review)
Abstract
Research and criticism are part and parcel of any literature. There is a dearth of practical criticism in Punjabi language. Arif Abdul Mateen is not only a seasoned critic but also a poet par excellence. His book "Parkh Parchol" contains 34 literary essays which lay down the foundations of literary criticism in Punjabi language. The book highlights important aspects of classical and modern poetry. The critic presents his critical analysis in a quite comprehendible manner. The language and style of the book substantiate the command and observation of the writer. The use of Arabic, Urdu, Persian, English, Hindi and Punjabi words is very impressive while presenting critical ideas. The book can be considered the first milestone in Punjabi literary criticism. This article presents critical analysis of the subject book.
