Abstract
Historicism is a literary theory that focuses on historical events in works of art. It thus depict how historical issues are embedded in literature. The research entitled “Adabi da Tarihanci: Nazarin Wasu Wasanni Na Rudolf Prietze”(Literature and Historicism: An Analysis of Some Plays by Rudolf Prietze) looks at how historical phenomena were encapsulated in Turbar Qudus (1898), Turbar Tarabulus (1902) and Tarihin Rabeh (1902). In its attempt to analyse the plays based on historicism, the work has reviewed and ascertained the history of Rabeh (Fadl Allah), Jerusalem (Qudus) and Trans-Saharan trade and so many related issues for the purpose of reference. And the research analyses the literary appreciation in the plays, notably the plot, the theme, the characters, and the language style (figure of speech).
In conclusion, the research has highlighted how Prietze‟s plays reflect the historical phenomena in Jerusalem and in Hausa societies in different aspects of life around 1898 and 1902, The research discovers that the playwright uses true life story to build literature. In Turbar Qudus, the history of Christianity which comprises the holy place where Prophet Isah (Yesu) was born is examined, and the categories of people live in Jerusalem that largely originated from Germany, Moscow and France were noted. The thesis observed the applicability of supremacy of power in Turbar Qudus by the emir of Istanbul over other emirs. Similarly, in the play Turbar Tarabulus the historical life of commercial or Trans-Saharan trade between Hausaland and Maghreb states (North Africa) have been studied. The life in the desert and its dwellers notably the Shamba Arabs were noted.While in Tarihin Rabeh, the history of Rabeh and how he conquered Borno empire and its neighbors have been discovered.
