Reflejo de la literatura occidental en la producción tunecina contemporánea

Abstract

This article analyzes the influence of twentieth century western literary tendencies (french, anglo-saxon, hispanic and slavonic) on tunisian contemporary writers and on the tendencies they represent, paying special attention to the verse production. It shows the ways of introduction of the main literary movements from the West to Tunisia and the trace they left on the works of tunisian writers both in the formal aspects and in the content. The influence comes sometimes through the pure evocation of the most significant names (Aragon, Prévert, Lorca, Neruda, and so on) and sometimes through a real knowledge of their works, which this article shows.
