01First: the new (realist) school and the conditions that led to it

  • The Romantic direction stayed dominant in Arabic poetry between the two world wars (the First 1914–1918 and the Second 1939–1945) — among the poets of al-Diwan, al-Mahjar and Apollo.
  • Then new political, social, economic and cultural factors arose in Arab life which weakened the poets' pull towards Romanticism and turned them towards realism in varying degrees.
  • In their first phase the poets of the new poetry still mixed in something of Romanticism, influenced by their predecessors — but they turned to the public life around them.
  • Theirs most prominent: Salah Abdel-Sabour, Badr Shakir al-Sayyab, Mohamed Ibrahim Abu Sunna and Farouk Shousha.
