Domain	Definitions
Satire	NOVEL, n. A short story padded. A species of composition bearing the same relation to literature that the panorama bears to art. As it is too long to be read at a sitting the impressions made by its successive parts are successively effaced, as in the panorama. Unity, totality of effect, is impossible; for besides the few pages last read all that is carried in mind is the mere plot of what has gone before. To the romance the novel is what photography is to painting. Its distinguishing principle, probability, corresponds to the literal actuality of the photograph and puts it distinctly into the category of reporting; whereas the free wing of the romancer enables him to mount to such altitudes of imagination as he may be fitted to attain; and the first three essentials of the literary art are imagination, imagination and imagination. The art of writing novels, such as it was, is long dead everywhere except in Russia, where it is new. Peace to its ashes -- some of which have a large sale. Source: Devil's Dictionary.

A novel is an invented story presented in book form. Writers of novels are often referred to as novelists.

The novel is often defined as being a fiction in prose of a certain length, typically more than 50 000 words, with characters, incidents and perhaps a plot. This admits of counterexamples: many novels, among them Ulysses by James Joyce and Moby-Dick by Herman Melville, contain passages written in drama or verse form. Historical (non-fictional) novels, such as I, Claudius by Robert Graves are a well-established subclass of novels. Some, perhaps Rainer Maria Rilke's Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge, contain little or nothing in the way of a plot.

Novels are a relatively recent genre, first flourishing widely in the early 18th century in Europe. Miguel Cervantes is credited with writing the first Western novel, Don Quixote, the first part of which was published in 1605. But the Chinese Romance of the Three Kingdoms predates this by centuries and is easily a novel by modern standards. The Tale of Genji, by Murasaki Shikibu (a Japanese noblewoman), was written even earlier, in the early 11th century, and is often considered to be the world's first novel. Still, many Greek and Latin narratives may also fit that description, including The Golden Ass by Apuleius, a 2nd century Latin author from North Africa. In it we find the characteristics that even today make up a novel. The first English language novelist was Daniel Defoe who wrote Robinson Crusoe in 1719.

The novel and other literary genres

Prior to the rise of the novel very little work written in prose was taken seriously as artistic literature. People used prose for science, law, history, and philosophy, but the general attitude was that work written without poetry could hardly count as aesthetically interesting on its own. The early novel was meant to reach a large public and at the beginning it was considered as a lower form of literature - neither true nor beautiful. The novel is thus historically linked with realism in style and content, but this can no longer be considered generally true. The discovery of the wealth of aesthetic value that inheres in prose not constrained by poetic structures can be considered a major development in world literature.

What sets the novel apart from a short story is that it is longer, more complex, and deals with more than one issue in the lives of its characters. What sets it apart from a play is that it is not confined by the restrictions of the stage, human actors and the audience. What sets it apart from poetry is that it is written in prose form.

Lexicography	Devil's Dictionary	ROMANCE, n. Fiction that owes no allegiance to the God of Things as They Are. In the novel the writer's thought is tethered to probability, as a domestic horse to the hitching-post, but in romance it ranges at will over the entire region of the imagination -- free, lawless, immune to bit and rein. Your novelist is a poor creature, as Carlyle might say -- a mere reporter. He may invent his characters and plot, but he must not imagine anything taking place that might not occur, albeit his entire narrative is candidly a lie. Why he imposes this hard condition on himself, and "drags at each remove a lengthening chain" of his own forging he can explain in ten thick volumes without illuminating by so much as a candle's ray the black profound of his own ignorance of the matter. There are great novels, for great writers have "laid waste their powers" to write them, but it remains true that far and away the most fascinating fiction that we have is "The Thousand and One Nights."
