‎English Novel in the 19th Century
The 19th century contains the most important authors, genres, and trends in the field of novel. The importance can be seen both in terms of literary canonicity and in terms of historical change. There are landmarks in the history of novel as a literary genre. The 196 century introduces development of the following genres: the Bildungsroman; the historical novel; the regional novel; the provincial novel; the gothic novel; the industrial novel; the sensation novel; the detective novel; the science fiction novel; the New Woman novel. Although all these types of novel have been definitely identified as discrete genres, either by nineteenth century readers or by recent literary criticism, yet these generic divisions are not fixed and there is an evident mutability in case of some works.
