An Introduction to the History of Modern Arabic Literature in Egypt

by J. Brugman

Brugman provides a historical background for students who are able to read modern Arabic or are on their way to doing so, and for colleagues and future colleagues. He also assumes that readers have at least a superficial knowledge of classical Arabic literature. His topics are the beginnings of the Renaissance, neoclasssicists, the rise of modern prose, the Diwan School, Apollo, the early development of the novel and the short story, the modern novel, al-Madrasah al-hadithah, further developments of the novel, early literary criticism, literary criticism in the 20th century, and further developments.
