Description:
The novel is a relatively young art form, yet it has become the defining way we tell stories about ourselves. This book traces its development from early prose romances and Don Quixote through the rise of the English novel and the great nineteenth-century realists. It covers the experiments of modernism and the diverse, global fiction of today. It explores how the novel grew alongside literacy, printing and the middle class, and how it has given voice to inner lives, social change and new perspectives. A Brief History of the Novel is a compelling guide for readers who want to understand the form they love.
