Abstract

This paper deals with the critical approaches that resulted from Orientalist studies. It attempts to shed light on different aspects of Arabic literature and Arabic language as texts and narration and it shows how the critical theory shifted from the Oriental movement to the modernist experience in Arabic literature. The paper concludes that there is an integral relation between orientalism and the modern experiment in Arabic literature
