Two main factors have come to play a determining role in the mode of critical thinking that has dominated the modern Arabic literary scene. First, there has been the combined impact of political, social, cultural and literary changes of which modern Arabic literary criticism has been aware and to which it has responded by trying to develop gradually an approach both modern and Arab. Secondly, there has been the influence of foreign culture which works as a stimulant to the modern Arabic literary critic who strives -with varying degrees of success -to employ some of its notions and elements in his encounter with his own literature, which in turn has been exposed to the same influences. Thus modern Arabic critical discourse has been determined by a multitude of internal and external factors, each of which has exerted a measure of influence which varies according to the cultural formation of the critic, the type of literary discourse under consideration, and lastly the circumstances and conditions of the production of the critical text itself.1
