The Arabic Short Story

The Arabic Short Story followed two major strands, Romantic and Realist. The short story movement first emerged in the late 19^th century, with the expansion of newspapers and magazines across the Arab world. Short stories first appeared as serialized works in these weekly or monthly publications, and took their primary themes from national conditions and circumstances. The short stories all emerged from the same central strand, but were thematically and stylistically diverse based on the nationality of each particular author. The ‘Golden Age’ or the Arabic short story came in first half of the 20^th century, and one of the leading causes of this literary revolution was the development of nationalism and independence across the Arab world.

The most famous authors of Romantic Short Stories came from Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq. Each of these nations produced world-class author and a number of distinct literary themes. Egyptian authors, for example, often wrote about nationalism, patriotism and women’s roles in society. By contrast, Palestinian authors almost always wrote about the pain and loss of their homeland, as well as the challenges of displacement. Finally, the Lebanese romantic short stories were often colored by a love of the Lebanese homeland, multiculturalism, and the difficulties of migration away from Lebanon. Each of these national traditions produced different variations in the Romantic short story, and produced a very vibrant literary tradition.

The Realistic short story is a natural counterpart to the Romantic story, as it eschewed romanticism and fictionalization in exchange for frank and truthful descriptions of life in the Middle East. Realistic short stories described the every day life of Arabs, especially those of the middle and lower class. These stories were often written through the stream of conscience, and attempted to portray the average Arab life as realistically as possible. Like the Romantic short story, the Realistic story also followed certain national traditions, and also featured a number of incredibly famous authors. Some of the overarching themes of the Realistic short story include the mundaneness of life, the suffering of the lower class, and the economic disparity within Arabic society. Some of the most famous Realistic authors included Taha Hussein, the dean of Arab realism, Tawfik Yusuf, an author that questioned daily life, and al-Bardawi, a man that wrote nothing but short stories throughout his entire career. These authors are but a few of the many Realist short story writers, and they each had different themes and techniques that made the Realist short story an incredibly diverse and vibrant literary tradition.

This is a pretty general source, but I think it will be a good starting point not only for my topic, but for just about everyone in the class. It seems to cover a huge variety of topics, and should give people plenty of ideas start reseraching.
