It is a distinctive collection of poetry that blends pride, nostalgia, and national and social issues in a sophisticated and innovative style.
Al-Shawqiyyat is a poetry collection by the Egyptian poet Ahmed Shawqi (1868 – 1932). Shawqi began publishing his complete poetry in four parts in 1926, with an introduction by Muhammad Hussein Haikal. Diwan Al-Shawqiyyat in its complete form includes the best poems he composed in various stages of his literary life (1898 – 1927), and is distinguished by the diversity of topics and the multiple trends and positions it represents. Al-Shawqiyyat represents an important stage in the life of Arabic poetry in the era of the Arab Renaissance before it was overwhelmed by modern artistic and philosophical schools, or those emerging from a new, intensive culture. Shawqi is considered the head of the revivalist school in Arabic poetry in the modern era, a trend that was founded by Mahmoud Sami Al-Baroudi before him.
