Analytical and Critical Study of the Characteristics of Romanticism and Socialist Realism in the Poetry of Abbas Mahmoud al-Aqqad

"Aqqad" is one of the outstanding poets of "School al-Diwan" with the focus on criticism and literature. Although his poems, especially those about nature, love and imagination, have the characteristics of Romanticism, after entering politics, he began to record political and social events and spoke openly about the sufferings that the colonizers and occupiers had imposed on people. Addressing such an issue is the specific feature of the school of Socialist Realism. Therefore, we decided to examine some aspects of the social situation in Egypt with an analytical descriptive method and find an answer to the following question: how did Aqqad coordinate the signs of the school of Romanticism and features of the school of Socialist Realism? One of the most important results obtained in this research is that, along with the tendency to the school of Romanticism and its well-known features, the poet has taken strong steps towards transformation and building human societies in the shadow of love, friendship and social justice. He called on his compatriots to stand up against the oppressors who paved the way for the warring foreigners, and he also helped deprived and poor people.
