Hamed Hassan belongs to a generation of poets who grew up according to the
conventions of Classicism in Arabic poetry. He was also a contemporary of the fascination
of Romantic originality represented by its elite. He was, thus, influenced by the c
reativity
of both schools, and he mixed their artistic values to an extent with which it became so
hard to determine to which school he belonged.
This study endeavors to shed light on the romantic features of the poet's
creativity. This occurs through the artistic image which is serious and full of human
emotions. In addition to that the poetic diction is characterized by unique coinage. Poetic
musicality implies external as well as internal dimensions. The artistic vision which cannot
be overlooked , appears clearly in the poet’s rejection of the existing reality and replacing
it with another reality which can be fictious or ideal or both. All of this appears in his
romantic poems which centre on love and emotional adventures.
