This groundbreaking study is the first to explore the Arabic translations of significant modern poems in the English language, focusing on T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and Walt Whitman's Song of Myself. It delves into the works of Arab translators who were themselves modernist poets, including Badr Shakir al-Sayyab and Saadi Yusuf, and examines the translations as literary works in their own right. Through a series of case studies, Ghareeb Iskander reveals the reasons why Arab modernists were drawn to these poems, highlighting the creative manner in which the Arab poet-translators converted them into their own language. The study demonstrates that the influence exerted by the English originals stems from the innovative techniques employed by the Arab translators, making this a significant contribution to the field of translation studies.
