This essay aims to observe the principles of critique, using a descriptive-analytic method to determine the extent of adherence of the author to the standards and rules of writing the critiques. A careful review of the book suggests that this work has some shortcomings in content and form. Some of the most fundamental of which are as follows: addressing unnecessary topics such as the poet's biography and neglecting some of the essential topics, such as the Abbasid era poetry.
