English novel
Den engelske roman er generelt blevet anset for at begynde med Daniel Defoes Robinson Crusoe (1719) og Moll Flanders (1722), selv om John Bunyans The Pilgrim's Progress (1678) og Aphra Behns Oroonoko (1688) også er blevet nævnt, mens tidligere værker som Sir Thomas Malorys Morte d'Arthur og endda "Prologen" til Geoffrey Chaucers Canterbury Tales er blevet foreslået. En anden vigtig tidlig roman er Gullivers rejser (1726, ændret 1735) af den irske forfatter og præst Jonathan Swift, som både er en satire over den menneskelige natur og en parodi på rejseberetninger som Robinson Crusoe. Romanens fremkomst som en vigtig litterær genre forbindes generelt med væksten af middelklassen i England.
The English novel has generally been seen as beginning with Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719) and Moll Flanders (1722), though John Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress (1678) and Aphra Behn's Oroonoko (1688) are also contenders, while earlier works such as Sir Thomas Malory's Morte d'Arthur, and even the "Prologue" to Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales have been suggested. Another important early novel is Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, which is both a satire of human nature, as well as a parody of travellers' tales like Robinson Crusoe. The rise of the novel as an important literary genre is generally associated with the growth of the middle class in England.
