Abstract

Modern literary schools are considered among the most prominent literary phenomena that have influenced modern and contemporary Arabic literature, as many poets followed the approach of these schools, whether in terms of trends or the technical characteristics of the problem of the literary text. Poets who imitated these schools’ nature were influenced by the footsteps of their pioneers, and followed their approach even in literary dialectics.  
Moreover, many modern poets and modernists imitated their theory, differed in the foundations that divided the previous ones, and drove away towards lascivious liberation, so they wrote the liberated poem and the prose poem. They then excelled in refining rhythm and musical timbre. The Chadian literary scene, since its first day, passing through the successive stages of Chadian literature to the emerging poets, until now, followed the same path.   
Anyone who follows the Chadian literary text will find the influence of these literary schools striking, given the closeness of the literary environments, the factors of communication between literary peoples, and the cultural openness with the Arab world through its literary gateway, Egypt. Indeed, the Egyptian scientific missions have a major impact on cultural radiation, for the first generation were those who studied in Egypt during the period of the modern literary renaissance. They were taught by the pioneers of the classical school, such as Al-Baroudi, Hafez Ibrahim, and other poets of the literary schools who were embraced by the modern literary renaissance. All of this had a great impact on the renaissance of Chadian Arabic literature and the advancement of its artistic characteristics and aesthetics.
