  Novel - LoveToKnow 1911
The plain and direct purpose of the novel is to amuse by a succession of scenes painted from nature, and by a thread of emotional narrative.
But the novel adapts itself to so large a range of readers, and covers so vast a ground in the imitation of life, that it is the unique branch of literature which may be cultivated without any real distinction or skill, and yet for the moment may exercise a powerful purpose.

 Nineteen Eighty-Four - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Published on June 8, 1949, the bulk of the novel was written by Orwell on the Scottish island of Jura in 1948, although he had been writing it since 1945.
At the end of the novel there is an appendix on Newspeak (the artificial language invented and, by degrees, imposed by the Party to limit the capacity to express or even think "unorthodox" thoughts), in the style of an academic essay.
In the novel, Julia describes party fanaticism as "sex gone sour;" Winston, aside from during his affair with Julia, suffers from an ankle inflammation, alluding to Oedipus Rex and symbolizing an unhealthy repression of the sex drive.

 novel
The novel satirises the society of the late eighteenth century to great effect and held together with Smollett’s characteristically coarse sense of humour - usually at the expense of his characters and the stereotypes they represent.
But he hardly saw them; the act was an automatic repetition of what he had been accustomed to do when less occupied; and the one matter which really engaged him was the mental estimate of his progress thus far.
He awaited them with a face from which he was conscious of not being able quite to banish this idea that they would have gone on, not seeing and not knowing, missing their dinner and disappointing their hostess, had he himself taken a line to match.

 Novel, Romance, and Gothic: Brief Definitions
It invests individuals with an absorbing interest--it hurries them rapidly through crowding and exacting events, in a narrow space of time--it requires the same unities of plan, of purpose, and harmony of parts, and it seeks for its adventures among the wild and wonderful.
Authors of such novels set their stories in the medieval period, often in a gloomy castle replete with dungeons, subterranean passages, and sliding panels, and made plentiful use of ghosts, mysterious disappearances, and other sensational and supernatural occurrences; their principal aim was to evoke chilling terror by exploiting mystery, cruelty, and a variety of horrors.
The live burial that is a favorite conventual punishment in Gothic novels derives much of its horror not from the buried person's loss of outside activities (that would be the horror or dead burial), but from the continuation of a parallel activity that is suddenly redundant.

To catch them he exercised a degree of style and dexterity that was not strictly necessary, turning his hindquarters around and around to examine the prey from every angle before stepping back far enough to endow the final pounce with a maximum of dramatic effect.
Each of them had felt quite distinctly a thrill of exultation, while their sympathy for the poor victim was a bit late in presenting itself, like a guilty afterthought.
It came to him that he would show her how to pull them gently but firmly, so as to draw the tethered end slowly from the ground; then the worm would twang in your face as the tension was suddenly released, wrapping itself round and round your nose.

 Them   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
A novel about class, race, and the horrific, glassy sparkle of urban life, them chronicles the lives of the Wendalls, a family on the steep edge of poverty in the windy, riotous Detroit slums.
She runs away with him, and what happens to them on their cross-country journey and then afterward is too sad to be comical and yet too absurd to be tragic in the classical sense; too gross for the conventions of fiction, it could be expected to happen only in real life.
Oates culminates this novel filled with various kinds of violence in a race riot, against the backdrop of which the ideological diatribes uttered by several characters newly introduced to the story, advocating large-scale social changes for the nation, seem oddly removed from the more private concerns of the Wendall family.

 JOYCE CAROL OATES: them   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
"Them" are also the forces that tear at their happiness—ignorance, intolerance, the loneliness of being a part and yet apart; the differences between rich and poor, white and fl, the loved and the lover.
THEM is an extraordinary novel, a work that once again reveals Miss Oates's remarkable and compassionate insight, her true narrative skill, and her high artistry.
Alone among my novels them is prefaced by an Author's Note, terse, equivocal, and possibly helpful—at the very least by directing the reader's attention to the fact, not a negligible one, that the title them refers to certain people and is not a shorthand "poetic" way of alluding to all Americans.

 Amazon.com: Their Dogs Came with Them: A Novel: Books: Helena Maria Viramontes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Viramontes' novel grows out of its characters and the brute materiality that affects them, and its style is as complex and materially present as the story of Los Angeles life that it tells.
The alleged "difficulty" of the novel lies in its challenges to the traditional tropes and characters of American literature--in its original voice, unique form of storytelling, and in the brilliance of its form.
The ethical and esthetic value of this novel lies in its refusal to sacrifice or to romanticize the baffling, 'frustrating' and incomprehensible violence of urban life in twentieth century.

 The History of the Vic...
The nineteenth-century Victorian serial novel was a way for readers and writers to make a novel last years and be talked about endlessly like the daily soap opera of this century.
Despite the fact that some people liked them and some people did not, serials were in great demand during the Victorian era, so writers had to adjust their talents to accommodate serial readers.
Victorian writers expected Dickens to enlighten them with a character that "changed and improved, a character who embodied the promise of a betterment and a self-fulfillment" in each novel (Crawford 324).

The novel so long as it be alive gives pleasure, and must always give pleasure, enough to stave off the departure of the Wedding Guest forever, except for that one lady.
The reason why every word you write in a good novel is a lie, then, is that it is written expressly to serve the purpose; if it does not apply, it is fancy and frivolous, however specially dear to the writer's heart.
And when the good novel is finished, its cooled outside shape, what Sean O'Faolain has called "the veil of reality," has all the burden of communi- cating that initial, spontaneous, overwhelming, driving charge of personal inner feeling that was the novel's reason for being.

Because of a novel's length, because you must sink down into its world, a world that evolves with your exploration, interior continents changing shape as you walk above the trees on sentences snapping up under your shoes as you write them, a novel tends to become a part of you.
Because as long as a novel is unfinished, you as the writer can think up all sorts of 'what-if' situations the characters can still get into.

Ronson's quest to locate these secret rulers of the world was both hazardous and hilarious.
