Abstract

This study aims to examine modern Algerian poetry through Mohamed Nasser’s book Modern Algerian Poetry: Its Trends and Artistic Characteristics 1925–1975. It focuses on the main historical and cultural factors that contributed to its development, its major poetic trends and characteristics, as well as its artistic features in terms of language, style, imagery, structure, and themes. The study adopts the historical and descriptive-analytical approaches by tracing the development of Algerian poetry and examining the traditional conservative trend, the romantic trend, and the new trend, with an analysis of selected poetic models in light of Mohamed Nasser’s study. The study concludes that modern Algerian poetry underwent a gradual development influenced by the historical, cultural, and social transformations experienced by Algeria, moving from traditional forms towards greater innovation in language, imagery, structure, and rhythm while maintaining its national and artistic identity.
