Novel workmanship and creative criticism, by Dr. Mohamed Dabasha

Let's start with a question, is the novel a craft or an art?

We can answer that the novel is an art within the tree of the shadows, the workmanship resides in its structure and is based on the know-how and mastery based on experience and on capabilities and references that must be available to establish this art, and the workmanship here is not a mechanical craft of things, but rather it must interfere with shaping and painting

To produce a creative text that meets the conditions and controls for building a literary text away from tradition.

In his book The Making of the Novel, Lubbock believes that there must be many mechanisms in the making of the novel, as it is the most widespread artistic work in our time and which advances other literary races, as he believes that the novel is based on presenting perspectives in a panoramic scene and that the process of criticism must be

A constructive reading of the work of fiction calls for following the style and formulas in order to discover the text and its judgment.

Perhaps the emergence of some global critical approaches has contributed to the dynamism and supremacy of the modern prose text (the theory of the overlap of gender and gender), which considers that the openness of literary texts to each other has a great significance in the departure of the text from the known traditional templates and the distance from the strict template that still dominates the mindset of many From the traditional generation of novel writers.

Im Forster adds that the novel must be viewed as if it was a swamp supported by several tributaries where you find poetry, the story, the story, the proverb ... etc., and thus solve the theory of the overlapping of genders problematic in writing on a specific gender so that the writer is free to move between different races without relying on gender This, in turn, leads to creation and creativity, and in this direction it is necessary to be aware of the text, self-awareness and the world, and that the narrator must sense the movement of things in his text, and this all depends on the cultural systems and references that the creator drink and his training and knowledge of the writing linen, otherwise he will fall into pitfalls that affect the course of the novel.

And some critical studies believe that the success of any novel must be met by two things

1- The target party for reading (the implicit reader)

2- Intensification of the rhetorical aspect based on scenery and photography rich in artistic and clear imaginative images

Based on the above, I see from my point of view that the theory of creative criticism freed the novel from the stereotype in writing the novel and made the writer free to mix more than one literary gender in his novels, and freedom and distance from stereotypes are the first step on the road to creativity.
