A new way of telling stories
history of the novel
A new way to tell stories - At the end of the 17 th century, beginning of the 18 th , a new way to tell story was born in England. Thanks to the economical and cultural improvements following the new trades routs and the first phase of the industrial revolution, the English middle classes could explain and show their political and economical weight with the novel.
However earliest examples of long writings in prose appeared in Europe and Asia in ancient and medieval times, but the novel took its modern form beginning in the 1500s, primarily in Europe.
Early Narrative Forms
Fictional stories were composed throughout the ancient world, and many of these have been referred to as novels. From ancient Rome the chief examples of these works are The Golden Ass (2nd century ad) by Lucius Apuleius, in which Lucius describes his adventures after magic lotion turns him into an ass, and the Satyricon (1st century ad) by Petronius Arbiter, which portrays wild parties and other excesses of life in Rome in the 1st century ad.
In Greece in the early centuries of the Christian era (1st century ad), several books appeared that can be considered novels. The best known include the romances Daphnis and Chloë (2nd century ad?), which is generally attributed to Longus, and Æthiopica (3rd century ad), by Heliodorus of Emesa.
With the fall of Rome in the 5th century, Europe moved into the Middle Ages (5th century to 15th century). During this time the epic was a popular form, and it can be seen as a precursor to the modern novel. Usually told or written in verse, epics involve the adventures of a single character, usually a heroic one. Details of everyday life appear only as background to a greater story. The list of well-known epics is long, but the most famous British example is the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf (8th century).
The romance also developed in the Middle Ages. Romances were extensive works, in verse or prose, dealing with courtly love, valorous knights, ladies of the court, and chivalry. At first, romances were told and sung by French poet-musicians called troubadours and trouvères. Subsequently, romances were written by nobles, clerics, court musicians, and scribes. One popular romance was Le Morte d’Arthur (1469-1470; The Death of Arthur) by English writer Sir Thomas Malory.
16th and 17th Centuries
The novel developed in its modern form in Europe in the late 1500s and early 1600s, during the flowering of the Renaissance (14th century to 17th century), a time of renewed interest in learning and
