AB  - Due to contacts with the Western cultural milieu, new concepts and ideas were adopted by many
European-educated Arabic poets who had been given a chance to read and translate English and French verse.
The result was new generations who, influenced by the Western modernism, revolted against their accustomed
literary traditions. Being influenced by the Western modernism implies an influence by its “Neo-romanticism”.
It is ‘new romanticism’ because it represents a revival of the European romantic spirit which had informed the
work of the Apollo Group in the 1930s. From Eliot, the Arabic poets took the theme of the ‘city’ (the ‘unreal
city’) and from other modernists a variety of themes that this paper finds a continuation of the English Romantic
movement. This paper tries to prove this in a number of poetic images in modern Arabic poetry with a special
reference to poetry of Farouk Shoosha.
