Abstract EN

The novel is the most distinguished literary genre artistically and aesthetically.

It has received significant attention from scholars and critics in this field, reflecting all aspects of human experience through mixing reality and imagination.

Discourse can be defined as "a statement that assumes the presence of addresser (s) as well as addressee(s) and includes the desire of the former to influence the latter." The novel did not appear as a distinctive writing stream in Iraq only in the last century.

Novelists started emerging and contributing to the development of literary fiction in Iraq in a limited way due to the restrictions on freedom which is the cornerstone of any artistic creativity.

In the era following the fall of the Monarchy, Iraq has suffered from successive coups and totalitarian regimes that restricted writers.

But, after the fall of the last totalitarian regime, the lack of governmental pressure encouraged many private publishing houses.

Regarding poets and writers, they unleashed their potential by expressing what was going on in their thoughts, painful memories, and suffering in the repressive time in their pieces of writing which spread very widely.

History is considered a primary material that supports what the novelists aspire to in writing their novels.

It means novelists think about how to attract the readers' attention by reminding them of the past and entrenching the noble values in their memory.

This strategy aims to achieve two goals : to bring benefit and pleasure to the readers and to consolidate the national history.

At this point, the novelist should analyze these historical events in a way that makes the readers eager to know more and identify the most critical aspects.

This element allows the readers to learn about the circumstances that the government-sponsored authors may have neglected.

The historical novel is nothing but a reconstruction of the historical events by narrative in which imagination interferes to make it fictional literature.
