The various critical currents differed about the contribution of each of the creative poet, the text, and the receiver in the creative process, and those theories tended, starting from the twentieth century, to focus on the poetic sender and then on the poetic text, and after that on the poetic receiver. In exchange for elevating the status of the text, the historical theory, like other contextual theories, has elevated the status of the creative poet and made him the focus of poetics and focused its attention on him. The new historicism also focused on studying the text according to multiple formats that the text was born in its womb and resulted from. This research aims to answer the following question: is poetics manifested in the relationship of the text to its writer or to its external context, contrary to that vision that says that poetics can only be present in the text, as seen by the formalists and the textual theorists? Or that poetics is for the audience, as seen by postmodern theorists? We made this research in two sections: the first in poetics from the point of view of historical theory, and the other in poetics from the point of view of new historicism.
