Critical efforts in the Renaissance era represented the beginning and foundation of modern Arab critical studies, including comparative studies. Prominent Renaissance figures contributed to these efforts by leaving their imprints in this field. And among of them was Najeeb Suleiman Al-Haddad. This can be traced in his article, entitled A Contrast between Arabic Poetry and English Poetry, written in 1897.
