| | Novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The story was firmly a "novel" and not a "romance": a story of unparalleled female virtue, with a heroine who had had the chance to risk an illicit amour and not only withstood the temptation but made herself more unhappy by confessing her feelings to her husband. | | | The new genre adopted the name novel: this new novel was a work of new epic proportions, with the effect that the English (and Spanish) finally needed a new word for the original short "novel": The term novella was finally created to fill the gap in English. | | | Early 18th century novels and romances were still not considered part the world of learning, hence, not of part of literature; they were market goods. |

| | English novel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The English novel was defined, to a large extent, by the works of Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontë, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot. | | | Just as William Wordsworth and other poets were integral to the growth of English Romanticism, so Mary Shelley, and Ann Radcliffe were key to the sudden popularity of the Gothic novel. | | | It is equally important to recognize, however, the role that the contemporary reader played in the history of the English novel. |

| | The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: novel @ HighBeam Research |
| | 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. | | | An early and prevalent type was the picaresque novel, in which the protagonist, a social underdog, has a series of episodic adventures in which he sees much of the world around him and comments satirically upon it. | | | The term novel is derived from novella, Italian for a compact, realistic, often ribald prose tale popular in the Renaissance and best exemplified by the stories in Giovanni Boccaccio's Decameron (1348-53). |

| | Christina Pantoja-Hidalgo : : The Philippine Novel in English into the Twenty-First Century |
| | For instance, the first Philippine novel in English, A Child of Sorrow (1921) by Zoilo Galang (1895-1959), is a simplistic and melodramatic story of thwarted love -- in essence, a Tagalog novel written in English. | | | Nonetheless, the early novels in English are not appreciably different from their predecessors in Spanish and Tagalog. | | | Benesa, Leonidas V.

| | THE subject of this chapter is, virtually, the history of the English novel from 1760 to 1780, a crucial period in the earlier stages of its growth. | | | That is the one link which binds them to him, the one tangible mark which he left upon the novel of his generation. | | | Sterne, it need hardly be said, is undisputed master in this way of writing; and here, so far, at least, as his own century is concerned, he stands absolutely alone. |

| | Novel: A Forum on Fiction: Captivity and cultural capital in the English novel |
| | By virtue of writing for that community, paradoxically, the English captive necessarily displaces the original community of speakers and listeners from whom she had been forcibly separated.2 In their place, she posits a community of readers, and these two communities are entirely different. | | | English readers consumed these captivity narratives almost as avidly as they did sentimental fiction, and they consequently knew exactly what kind of story would ensue once they recognized it as the testimony of a captive woman. | | | Assuming, thanks to Leavis, that with Austen's career the rise of the novel was complete, Ian Watt never even speculates about the fate of the novel after it had become the preferred reading material of a new, commercially-oriented middle class. |

| | 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. | | | Given his thesis that the nineteenth century 'made' the novel, it is surprising that the ideas and method of the last chapter do not feature more prominently in Institutions of the English Novel. | | | Brown makes his case essentially by examining traditionally canonical novels to identify characteristics that came to define what it is to be a novel. |

| | The Project Gutenberg eBook of The English Novel, by George Saintsbury. |
| | This is that romance and novel are widely separated from each other; and that the historian of the novel is really straying out of his ground if he meddles with Romance. | | | Of The English Rogue (1665-1680), which earns him his place here, only the first part, and a certain section of the fourth, are even attributed to him by Francis Kirkman, the Curll of his generation, who published the thing at intervals and admittedly wrote parts of it himself. | | | Sidney Lanier's English Novel and the Principle of its Development is really nothing but a laudatory study of "George Eliot," with glances at other writers, including violent denunciations of the great eighteenth-century men. |

| | English - distinction between novel and so-called "romance" | | | Unlike literary forms that feature an appeal to the exotic and the far-away in place and time, novels are stories of now or about events in a relevant past. | | | In his criticism of Watt, McKeon points out that "romance" continues to be extremely important in an anti-individualist and idealizing tradition. |
