Moroccan literature information


Moroccan literature are the written and oral works of Moroccan culture. These works have been produced and shared by people who lived in Morocco and the historical states that have existed partially or entirely within the geographical area of modern-day Morocco. Apart from the various forms of oral literature, the written literature of Morocco encompasses various genres, including poetry, prose, theater, and nonfiction including philosphical and religious literature. Moroccan literature has mainly been written in Arabic and French,[1] and to a lesser extent also in Berber languages, Judeo-Arabic, Spanish, and after the mid-19th century in English.[2][pages needed] Through translations into English and other languages, Moroccan literature has become accessible to readers worldwide.[3]

Most of the literature written by Moroccans was created since the arrival of Islam in the 8th century, before which native Berber communities primarily had oral literary traditions.[4]
