Abstract or Introduction
What do Pamela, Tristram, Tom, Robinson, Roxana and the Monk have in common?
They are all the main characters of works that belong to the same literary genre and were written in the 18th century. The variety of works is characteristic of the novel, which may be one reason for the attractiveness of this literary form. Novels can be comic, satirical, tragic or romantic; there are epistolary, psychological and Gothic novels. All this seems to be a good reason to deal with this literary genre.
