What contribution did the reformist movement make to the renaissance of Algerian poetry?

Abstract

This passage discusses the impact of the reformist movement on modern Algerian literature. It suggests that the reformist movement, influenced by Salafi methodology, imposed a heavy burden on Algerian intellectuals by restricting them to traditional norms rather than benefiting from the productive innovations of renewal movements prevalent in both Eastern and Western literary worlds at the time. This conservative influence limited the freedom of creative talents, favoring adherence to tradition over embracing new ideas, thus hindering significant contributions to modern Algerian literary movements.
