| - | Modern Moroccan literature began in the [[1930s]]. Two main factors gave Morocco a pulse toward the development of modern Moroccan literature. Morocco, as a [[French Morocco|French]] and [[Spanish Morocco|Spanish]] protectorate left Moroccan intellectuals the opportunity to exchange and to produce literary works freely enjoying the contact of other [[Arabic literature]] and Europe. | ||
| - | During the [[1950s]] and [[1960s]], Morocco was a refuge and artistic centre and attracted writers as [[Paul Bowles]], [[Tennessee Williams]], [[Brion Gysin]], [[William S. Burroughs]] and [[Jack Kerouac]]. Moroccan literature flourished with writers such as [[Mohamed Choukri]], [[Driss Chraïbi]], [[Mohamed Zafzaf]] and [[Driss El Khouri]]. Those [[novelist]]s were just a few of the many novelists, poets and playwrights that were still to come. | ||

| - | In the [[1960s]], a group of writers founded a group called "Souffles" (Breaths) that initially was [[prohibition|prohibited]] but later in [[1972]] gave impetus to the [[poetry]] and modern [[Romanticism|romantic]] works of many Moroccan writers. | ||
