A Glance at the development of the theory and the term Voqūc among the Voqūcī poets on the basis of the views of memoir writers

The school of Voqūc was the dominant poetical trend in the late 10th c. A. H. and the early 11th c. A. H. The aim was to create change and present innovation in the stale atmosphere of poetry of the time. There are different views about the features and the pioneers of this school. The author has attempted to consider the views of the memoir writers of India and other researchers to identify the pioneers of this school and to review the trend and historical development of his theory, particularly the formation of the term ‘Voqūc’, with respect to the initial appearance of the term in literary texts.
