Contemporary Issues of Modern Arabic Literature

It is important for us to look carefully at how the literary doctrines originated among the westerners, to show to what extent the will of the writers and critics worked in the emergence of these doctrines, and to what extent the literature preceded it as a means of expressing psychological status or social conditions that change, so the literature changes and its doctrines change. These doctrines have flourished in Western literature since the European Renaissance at the classical stability, with the prevailing artistic and intellectual foundations in it. Importance of this topic is clear in terms of its profound influence in the modern Arabic literature, as we cannot understand accurately the aspects of renewal without studying it. We use the comparative descriptive approach in this article, which is always suitable to study such topics.
