The novel in the <a href="/wiki/Modern_era" title="Modern era">modern era</a> usually makes use of a <a href="/wiki/Literature" title="Literature">literary prose style</a>. The development of the prose novel at this time was encouraged by innovations in <a href="/wiki/Printing" title="Printing">printing</a>, and the introduction of cheap paper in the 15th century. Several characteristics of a novel might include: <ul><li>Fictional narrative: <a href="/wiki/Fiction" title="Fiction">Fictionality</a> is most commonly cited as distinguishing novels from <a href="/wiki/Historiography" title="Historiography">historiography</a>. However this can be a problematic criterion. Throughout the <a href="/wiki/Early_modern_period" title="Early modern period">early modern period</a> authors of historical narratives would often include inventions rooted in traditional beliefs in order to embellish a passage of text or add credibility to an opinion. Historians would also invent and compose speeches for didactic purposes. Novels can, on the other hand, depict the social, political and personal realities of a place and period with clarity and detail not found in works of history. Several novels, for example <a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%94ng_c%E1%BB%91_v%E1%BA%A5n&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Ông cố vấn (page does not exist)">Ông cố vấn</a> written by <a href="/wiki/H%E1%BB%AFu_Mai" title="Hữu Mai">Hữu Mai</a>, were designed to be and defined as a "non-fiction" novel which purposefully recorded historical facts in the form of a novel.</li> <li>Literary prose: While prose rather than verse became the standard of the modern novel, the ancestors of the modern European novel include verse epics in the <a href="/wiki/Romance_languages" title="Romance languages">Romance language</a> of southern France, especially those by <a href="/wiki/Chr%C3%A9tien_de_Troyes" title="Chrétien de Troyes">Chrétien de Troyes</a> (late 12th century), and in <a href="/wiki/Middle_English" title="Middle English">Middle English</a> (<a href="/wiki/Geoffrey_Chaucer" title="Geoffrey Chaucer">Geoffrey Chaucer</a>'s (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1343 – 1400) <a href="/wiki/The_Canterbury_Tales" title="The Canterbury Tales">The Canterbury Tales</a>).<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a> Even in the 19th century, fictional narratives in verse, such as <a href="/wiki/Lord_Byron" title="Lord Byron">Lord Byron</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Don_Juan_(Byron)" class="mw-redirect" title="Don Juan (Byron)">Don Juan</a> (1824), <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Pushkin" title="Alexander Pushkin">Alexander Pushkin</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Eugene_Onegin" title="Eugene Onegin">Yevgeniy Onegin</a> (1833), and <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Barrett_Browning" title="Elizabeth Barrett Browning">Elizabeth Barrett Browning</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Aurora_Leigh" title="Aurora Leigh">Aurora Leigh</a> (1856), competed with prose novels. <a href="/wiki/Vikram_Seth" title="Vikram Seth">Vikram Seth</a>'s <a href="/wiki/The_Golden_Gate_(Vikram_Seth_novel)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Golden Gate (Vikram Seth novel)">The Golden Gate</a> (1986), composed of 590 <a href="/wiki/Onegin_stanza" title="Onegin stanza">Onegin stanzas</a>, is a more recent example of the verse novel.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a></li> <li>Experience of intimacy: Both in 11th-century Japan and 15th-century Europe, prose fiction created intimate reading situations. <a href="/wiki/Harold_Bloom" title="Harold Bloom">Harold Bloom</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> characterizes <a href="/wiki/Murasaki_Shikibu" title="Murasaki Shikibu">Lady Murasaki</a>'s use of intimacy and irony in <a href="/wiki/The_Tale_of_Genji" title="The Tale of Genji">The Tale of Genji</a> as "having anticipated Cervantes as the first novelist." On the other hand, verse epics, including the <a href="/wiki/Odyssey" title="Odyssey">Odyssey</a> and <a href="/wiki/Aeneid" title="Aeneid">Aeneid</a>, had been recited to select audiences, though this was a more intimate experience than the performance of plays in theaters. A new world of individualistic fashion, personal views, intimate feelings, secret anxieties, "conduct", and "gallantry" spread with novels and the associated <a href="/wiki/Chivalric_romance" title="Chivalric romance">prose-romance</a>.</li> <li>Length: The novel is today the longest genre of narrative prose fiction, followed by the <a href="/wiki/Novella" title="Novella">novella</a>. However, in the 17th century, critics saw the romance as of epic length and the novel as its short rival. A precise definition of the differences in length between these types of fiction, is, however, not possible.

However, in Vietnamese culture, the term 小說 exclusively refers to 長篇小說 (long-length small talk), i.e. standard novel, while different terms are used to refer to novella and short stories. Such terms originated from ancient Chinese classification of literature works into "small talks" (tales of daily life and trivial matters) and "great talks" ("sacred" classic works of great thinkers like <a href="/wiki/Confucius" title="Confucius">Confucius</a>). In other words, the ancient definition of "small talks" merely refers to trivial affairs, trivial facts, and can be different from the Western concept of novel. According to <a href="/wiki/Lu_Xun" title="Lu Xun">Lu Xun</a>, the word "small talks" first appeared in the works of <a href="/wiki/Zhuang_Zhou" title="Zhuang Zhou">Zhuang Zhou</a>, which coined such word. Later scholars also provided a similar definition, such as Han dynasty historian <a href="/wiki/Ban_Gu" title="Ban Gu">Ban Gu</a>, who categorized all the trivial stories and gossips collected by local government magistrates as "small talks". <a href="/wiki/H%E1%BB%93_Nguy%C3%AAn_Tr%E1%BB%ABng" title="Hồ Nguyên Trừng">Hồ Nguyên Trừng</a> classified his memoir collection <a href="/wiki/Nam_%C3%94ng_m%E1%BB%99ng_l%E1%BB%A5c" title="Nam Ông mộng lục">Nam Ông mộng lục</a> as "small talks" clearly with the meaning of "trivial facts" rather than the Western definition of novel. Such classification also left a strong legacy in several East Asian interpretations of the Western definition of “novel” at the time when Western literature was first introduced to East Asian countries. For example, Thanh Lãng and <a href="/wiki/Nh%E1%BA%A5t_Linh" title="Nhất Linh">Nhất Linh</a> classified the epic poems such as <a href="/wiki/The_Tale_of_Ki%E1%BB%81u" class="mw-redirect" title="The Tale of Kiều">The Tale of Kiều</a> as "novel", while <a href="/w/index.php?title=Tr%E1%BA%A7n_Ch%C3%A1nh_Chi%E1%BA%BFu&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Trần Chánh Chiếu (page does not exist)">Trần Chánh Chiếu</a> emphasized the "belongs to the commoners", "trivial daily talks" aspect in one of his work.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a><a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a><a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(2)"><h2 id="Early_novels">Early novels</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Novel&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Early novels" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-2 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-2"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/Ancient_Greek_novel" title="Ancient Greek novel">Ancient Greek novel</a> and <a href="/wiki/Byzantine_novel" class="mw-redirect" title="Byzantine novel">Byzantine novel</a></div> The earliest novels include classical Greek and Latin prose narratives from the first century BC to the second century AD, such as <a href="/wiki/Chariton" title="Chariton">Chariton</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Callirhoe_(novel)" title="Callirhoe (novel)">Callirhoe</a> (mid 1st century), which is "arguably the earliest surviving Western novel",<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> as well as <a href="/wiki/Petronius_Arbiter" class="mw-redirect" title="Petronius Arbiter">Petronius</a>' <a href="/wiki/Satyricon" title="Satyricon">Satyricon</a>, <a href="/wiki/Lucian" title="Lucian">Lucian</a>'s <a href="/wiki/A_True_Story" title="A True Story">True Story</a>, <a href="/wiki/Apuleius" title="Apuleius">Apuleius</a>' <a href="/wiki/The_Golden_Ass" title="The Golden Ass">The Golden Ass</a>, and the anonymous <a href="/wiki/Aesop#The_Aesop_Romance" title="Aesop">Aesop Romance</a> and <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Romance" title="Alexander Romance">Alexander Romance</a>.

The beginnings of modern fiction in France took a pseudo-<a href="/wiki/Bucolic" class="mw-redirect" title="Bucolic">bucolic</a> form, and the celebrated <a href="/wiki/L%27Astr%C3%A9e" title="L'Astrée">L'Astrée</a>, (1610) of <a href="/wiki/Honore_d%27Urfe" class="mw-redirect" title="Honore d'Urfe">Honore d'Urfe</a> (1568–1625), which is the earliest French novel, is properly styled a <a href="/wiki/Pastoral" title="Pastoral">pastoral</a>. Although its action was, in the main, languid and sentimental, there was a side of the Astree which encouraged that extravagant love of glory, that spirit of " panache", which was now rising to its height in France. That spirit it was which animated <a href="/wiki/Marin_le_Roy_de_Gomberville" title="Marin le Roy de Gomberville">Marin le Roy de Gomberville</a> (1603–1674), who was the inventor of what have since been known as the Heroical Romances. In these there was experienced a violent recrudescence of the old medieval elements of romance, the impossible valour devoted to a pursuit of the impossible beauty, but the whole clothed in the language and feeling and atmosphere of the age in which the books were written. In order to give point to the <a href="/wiki/Chivalrous" class="mw-redirect" title="Chivalrous">chivalrous</a> actions of the heroes, it was always hinted that they were well-known public characters of the day in a romantic disguise. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Satirical_romances">Satirical romances</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Novel&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Satirical romances" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Richard_Head_1666.png" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Richard_Head_1666.png/220px-Richard_Head_1666.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="185" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1271" data-file-height="1069"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 185px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Richard_Head_1666.png/220px-Richard_Head_1666.png" data-width="220" data-height="185" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Richard_Head_1666.png/330px-Richard_Head_1666.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Richard_Head_1666.png/440px-Richard_Head_1666.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Richard_Head" title="Richard Head">Richard Head</a>, The English Rogue (1665)</figcaption></figure> Stories of witty cheats were an integral part of the European novella with its tradition of <a href="/wiki/Fabliaux" class="mw-redirect" title="Fabliaux">fabliaux</a>.

The tradition that developed with these titles focused on a hero and his life. The adventures led to satirical encounters with the real world with the hero either becoming the pitiable victim or the rogue who exploited the vices of those he met. A second tradition of satirical romances can be traced back to <a href="/wiki/Heinrich_Wittenwiler" title="Heinrich Wittenwiler">Heinrich Wittenwiler</a>'s Ring (<abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 1410) and to <a href="/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois_Rabelais" title="François Rabelais">François Rabelais</a>' <a href="/wiki/Gargantua_and_Pantagruel" title="Gargantua and Pantagruel">Gargantua and Pantagruel</a> (1532–1564), which parodied and satirized heroic romances, and did this mostly by dragging them into the low realm of the burlesque. Don Quixote modified the satire of romances: its hero lost contact with reality by reading too many romances in the Amadisian tradition. Other important works of the tradition are <a href="/wiki/Paul_Scarron" title="Paul Scarron">Paul Scarron</a>'s Roman Comique (1651–57), the anonymous French Rozelli with its satire on Europe's religions, <a href="/wiki/Alain-Ren%C3%A9_Lesage" title="Alain-René Lesage">Alain-René Lesage</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Gil_Blas" title="Gil Blas">Gil Blas</a> (1715–1735), <a href="/wiki/Henry_Fielding" title="Henry Fielding">Henry Fielding</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Andrews" title="Joseph Andrews">Joseph Andrews</a> (1742) and <a href="/wiki/The_History_of_Tom_Jones,_a_Foundling" title="The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling">Tom Jones</a> (1749), and <a href="/wiki/Denis_Diderot" title="Denis Diderot">Denis Diderot</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Jacques_the_Fatalist" title="Jacques the Fatalist">Jacques the Fatalist</a> (1773, printed posthumously in 1796).<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Histories">Histories</h3> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Novel&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Histories" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png/220px-1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="399" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="1607" data-file-height="2916"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 399px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png/220px-1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png" data-width="220" data-height="399" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png/330px-1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png/440px-1719-heathcot-robinson-crusoe.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>1719 newspaper reprint of Robinson Crusoe</figcaption></figure> A market of literature in the modern sense of the word, that is a separate market for fiction and poetry, did not exist until the late seventeenth century. All books were sold under the rubric of "History and politicks" in the early 18th century, including <a href="/wiki/Pamphlet" title="Pamphlet">pamphlets</a>, <a href="/wiki/Memoir" title="Memoir">memoirs</a>, <a href="/wiki/Travel_literature" title="Travel literature">travel literature</a>, political analysis, serious histories, romances, poetry, and novels. That fictional histories shared the same space with academic histories and modern journalism had been criticized by historians since the end of the Middle Ages: fictions were "lies" and therefore hardly justifiable at all. The climate, however, changed in the 1670s. The romance format of the quasi–historical works of <a href="/wiki/Madame_d%27Aulnoy" title="Madame d'Aulnoy">Madame d'Aulnoy</a>, <a href="/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Vichard_de_Saint-R%C3%A9al" title="César Vichard de Saint-Réal">César Vichard de Saint-Réal</a>,<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> <a href="/wiki/Gatien_de_Courtilz_de_Sandras" title="Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras">Gatien de Courtilz de Sandras</a>,<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> and <a href="/wiki/Anne-Marguerite_Petit_du_Noyer" title="Anne-Marguerite Petit du Noyer">Anne-Marguerite Petit du Noyer</a>, allowed the publication of histories that dared not risk an unambiguous assertion of their truth. The literary market-place of the late 17th and early 18th century employed a simple pattern of options whereby fictions could reach out into the sphere of true histories. This permitted its authors to claim they had published fiction, not truth, if they ever faced allegations of libel. Prefaces and title pages of seventeenth and early eighteenth century fiction acknowledged this pattern: histories could claim to be romances, but threaten to relate true events, as in the <a href="/wiki/Roman_%C3%A0_clef" title="Roman à clef">Roman à clef</a>. Other works could, conversely, claim to be factual histories, yet earn the suspicion that they were wholly invented. A further differentiation was made between private and public history: <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Defoe" title="Daniel Defoe">Daniel Defoe</a>'s <a href="/wiki/Robinson_Crusoe" title="Robinson Crusoe">Robinson Crusoe</a> was, within this pattern, neither a "romance" nor a "novel".

In the oldest surviving manuscript at Kongoji Temple in Kawachi Nagano City, Osaka Prefecture, the second half of the manuscript, which was previously missing, has been found. Ninety-nine years had passed since the existence of the manuscript was reported. "Yuxian ku" is the work of Zhang Wencheng. It is said to have been introduced to Japan during the Nara period. The story is about a protagonist who wanders into the cave of the Immortals, receives the hospitality of a fairy maiden, communicates with her through the exchange of poetry, and spends the night. It is also characterized by its fluent writing style, witty dialogue and poetry, and Tomohide Uesugi, a researcher at the Kyoto National Museum (Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto), who discovered the missing parts, said, "Nowadays, it can be considered as a cutting-edge foreign drama, known for its famous writing, and has influenced the <a href="/wiki/Man%27y%C5%8Dsh%C5%AB" title="Man'yōshū">Man'yōshū</a> and <a href="/wiki/The_Tale_of_Genji" title="The Tale of Genji">The Tale of Genji</a>, and has been read in Japan for a long time".</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&rft.genre=unknown&rft.jtitle=The+Asahi+Shimbun&rft.atitle=%E4%B8%AD%E5%9B%BD%E3%83%BB%E5%94%90%E3%81%AE%E4%BC%9D%E5%A5%87%E5%B0%8F%E8%AA%AC%E3%80%8C%E9%81%8A%E4%BB%99%E7%AA%9F%E3%80%8D%E3%80%80%E6%9C%80%E5%8F%A4%E3%81%AE%E5%86%99%E6%9C%AC%E3%80%8199%E5%B9%B4%E3%81%8B%E3%81%91%E3%81%A6%E5%BE%8C%E5%8D%8A%E7%99%BA%E8%A6%8B&rft.date=2022-08-18&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.asahi.com%2Farticles%2FASQ8L3V87Q89PLZB00W.html&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ANovel" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-33"><a href="#cite_ref-33">^</a> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite class="citation web cs1"><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.britannica.com/technology/printing-press">"Printing press | History & Types"</a>. 10 September 2024.</cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=unknown&rft.btitle=Printing+press+%26%23124%3B+History+%26+Types&rft.date=2024-09-10&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.britannica.com%2Ftechnology%2Fprinting-press&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ANovel" class="Z3988"> </li> <li id="cite_note-34"><a href="#cite_ref-34">^</a> "Chivalric romance", in Chris Baldick, ed., Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms, 3rd ed.
