		Thus, the modern novel is rooted in two traditions, the mimetic and the fantastic, or the realistic and the romantic.
		The novel became the dominant form of Western literature in the 19th cent., which produced many works that are considered milestones in the development of the form.
		These novels are not only masterpieces of realism but also—in their carefully crafted form, experimental point of view, and superb style—supreme examples of the novel as a literary genre.

		Novels such as Defoe’s that use historical settings for fictional characters are distinguished from historical novels that attempt to describe the inner lives of historical figures.
		Frankenstein (1818) by English novelist Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley is often cited as one of the precursors to science-fiction novels.
		The novel is experimental in that it is not a tale of identifying the killers—they have openly announced their intentions—but is instead a description of how and why the bystanders and participants handle their parts in the crime.

	English novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Novels written with this in mind often contained sometimes heavy moral instruction, and, like earlier English literature, attempted to provide an example of the correct kind of conduct.
		Most Victorian novels were long and closely wrought, full of intricate language, but the dominant feature of Victorian novels might be their verisimilitude, that is, their close representation to the real social life of the age.
		The English novel was defined, to a large extent, by the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot.

	Notes on the beginning of the English novel
		Novels differ from earlier narrative fiction in a certain freedom from stereotypes in plot, character, and names.
		Readers of novels "identify" or "empathize" with the heroes and heroines of novels, suggesting a greater closeness between readers and novel characters than between readers and characters in other fictional forms.
		Novels tend to be morc explicitly ideological than most literary species.

		In Institutions of the English Novel, Homer Obed Brown throws his hat into the increasingly crowded ring of scholars vying to explain the origins of the English novel.
		This awareness of the connection between form and context leads to a concluding chapter on ways in which canons are made and changed, an investigation demonstrating an acute awareness of the extratextual forces that contribute to the definition of a genre and the resulting canonization of different texts as excellent examples of that definition.
		Methodologically, Institutions of the English Novel is very interesting, connecting the incisive attention of close reading with the broad view of cultural studies, especially in the way it ties to the growing number of studies examining the way reading creates genre and vice versa.

	The English Realist Novel Criticism and Essays
		The turning point in the development of the English novel is generally said to be 1740, the year Samuel Richardson published Pamela.
		Richardson's aim in writing the novel had been didactic, and his effective blending of entertainment and ethical instruction was significant for the novel's success in an era when the genre itself was still considered morally suspect.
		The increasing interest in realistic fiction heightened this anxiety, as the representations of immoral, unethical, or sexual behavior that had such a prominent place in the plots of many popular fictions were seen to be negative influences on impressionable readers.

		The modern rise of novels, into a popular form of entertainment and a type of writing that claims to be literature, is deeply implicated in the home-building and home-improvement that secures England's distinctive national difference from the other peoples of other lands (France, the Caribbean, the Americans).
		But, at least since the 17th century, novel writing has also been implicated in those acts of imperial expansion through which one secures other peoples and places as part of one's empire.
		For a final paper, students may write on any appropriate novel from the Renaissance to the modern period, including modern novels where these issues are most salient, like Garcia-Marquez's 100 Years of Solitude, Achebe's, Things Fall Apart.

		His effort to trace the conception of personality from the time of the Greeks was a perilous undertaking for one who knew so little of Greek life and was so little acquainted with the sociological implications of any such investigation.
		Consequently he fervently wished that the novels of Fielding and Richardson might be “blotted from the face of the earth.” Consequently, too, “in some particulars Silas Marner is the most remarkable novel in our language,” and its author the greatest of English novelists.
		The preachments in which he again reminds one of Ruskin are the most interesting portions, because in them the man Lanier shines out and his cherished and innate convictions lie bare.

		The English novel has been characterized by the self-depictions of its maker's dominance: the novel of sense and sensibility is informed by the authority of belonging.

		This new study of the origins of the English novel argues that the novel emerged from historical writing.
		It is the acceptance of the claims to historicity, the study argues, that differentiates Defoe's fictions from those of writers like Thomas Deloney and Aphra Behn, important writers who nevertheless have figured less prominently than Defoe in discussions of the novel.
		His study makes an important contribution to the continuing debate about the emergence of what we now call the novel in Britain in the eighteenth century.
