Author(s) Ms. Snobar Altaf

Abstract Western literature was the source from where Urdu novel & criticism took its roots. Rules of criticism on Urdu novel were derived from criticism on Western novel too. It's also a fact that Urdu writers had started expressing their views about novel in form of essays & prefaces prior following Western critics .In this connection, Abbas Husseni's book proved to be the harbinger of criticism on Urdu novel.Thus evolution of customary practice of criticism in Urdu literature was the outcome of both the mentioned factors .As the time went by this customary practice branched out into varied trends. Amidst these trends social criticism turned out to be the most widely accepted trend. It focused n social aspects of novel driven by social & political factors of the society. Affected by this trend other elements of novel were associated too with the society. As the influential trend of criticism on novel was explanatory.Therefore, critics kept themselves occupied with the explanation of plot & characters.Due to this trend although volume of Urdu literature increased but to view criticism only from general & academic angle became the prevailing tendency. In 60's there emerged two approaches of studying novel.The modern approach dealt with analysis of technical aspects of novel .These critics were against confining novel to definitions of story, plot and characters .Thats why they welcomed new experiments done in this domain .The other approach was critically appreciating novel from psychological angle .This approach dealt with study of mind and exploration and explanation of conscious and unconscious motives at work in the novel. Despite being immensely interesting this trend couldn't gather great number of critics in its folds.
