This essay focuses on the image of birds in the so-called Arabic “Romantic” poetry. A preliminary paragraph offers some brief considerations on the concept of “Romanticism” applied to Arabic poetry and identifies the trope of birds as a suitable theme for an analysis of the evolution of romantic issues in the Arabic poetry of the 19th century. Excerpts from poems by al-ʿAqqād, Šukrī, al-Šabbī and al-Malāʾika are given in order to follow the evolution of the bird imagery, borrowed from translations of Romantic English poets and reshaped by the poets’ inspiration.

Abstract

This essay focuses on the image of birds in the so-called Arabic “Romantic” poetry. A preliminary paragraph offers some brief considerations on the concept of “Romanticism” applied to Arabic poetry and identifies the trope of birds as a suitable theme for an analysis of the evolution of romantic issues in the Arabic poetry of the 19th century. Excerpts from poems by al-ʿAqqād, Šukrī, al-Šabbī and al-Malāʾika are given in order to follow the evolution of the bird imagery, borrowed from translations of Romantic English poets and reshaped by the poets’ inspiration.
