Origin of the Novel
The novel became the leading type of literature in the 19th century
Novels were for the most part painted, idealizing pictures of difficult lives where hard works love, luck, and perseverance win out in the end
They followed the idea that good was rewarded while evil was punished
There was usually a moral lesson which comes out of the story
Through the 19th Century the novels went from idealistic to more realistic, they also took on a grimmer outlook
Charles Dickens was one of the most popular and best examples of Victorian novelists.
Novels are a type of fiction whose plots are developed through the actions, speech and thoughts of each character.
