Novel def.

A

A novel is a long narrative, normally in prose, which describes fictional characters and events, usually in the form of a sequential story. The conventions of the Novel have been constantly challenged and changed. And it remains debatable what really constitutes a Novel, because we have a wide Variety of Styles , narrative techniques and Subject matters.
Additionally there are also many subgenres . So usually the criteria for a Novel only encludes a certain length ( over 100 p) , prose, a Plot and the Events involve experiences of characters.

81

What is American ?

A

It’s difficult to define what is American , and this has to do with The question of the Canon and the Separation of popular vs. Highbrow Literature ,

And if we choose to Do the latter,we Need to broaden our Definition of American Literature in Terms of Time ,Space , Language and Form.
