Abstract
The essays "Muqaddima Sher o Shairi" and "Sher ul-Ajam" that were published
in Nerang e Khayal can be taken as exemplars of a Western attack on the
Eastern world. Even though Hali and Shibli have benefitted from the views of
eastern writers and thinkers in these works, they have not applied these ideas or
made use of them in analysing the new forms and attitudes that were then
emerging in literature. In this article, the researcher argues that Aziz Hamid
Madani has contributed to the field of literary criticism by drawing on both the
eastern as well as the western tradition. The researcher argues that Aziz Hamid
Madani has shown the attitude of dismissing classical works that is common
among new age writers as being contradictory in nature. The researcher believes
that Aziz Hamid Madani, while accepting the western critical tradition as a valid
source of knowledge, has still not become westernised or been influenced to the
point of dismissing the traditions that are one's own. The researcher would like
to prove in this article that Aziz Hamid Madani, despite having extensively
studied these modern theories, has managed to bring the modern and classical
trends together in a way that beautifully combines them and shows their
connections and continuities
