Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outline Studies in Literature 4. Birth of the novel. a. The novel in English Literature appeared in 1740, when Richardson´s Pamela was published. b. Its predecessors: Robinson Crusoe, Lyly´s Euphues, Lodge´s Rosalind, Sidney´s Arcadia. Suggestion 4. If possible, let the pupils prepare the story of each of the above for composition work. Note 3. These have something of the quality of the typical English novel, and influenced the growth of this form of fiction. Besides the works of English fiction just mentioned, there were several romances translated from older languages, without whose influence the true novel might never have been produced. The best known of these are Amadis of Gaul, Gil Blas, Theagnes and Chariclea, Daphnis and Chloe. "These are stories of the adventures of knights and kings and princes; tales of adventure in lands far away; under circumstances impossible, and by help of enchantment and magic and supernatural assistance." Suggestion 5. Let the pupil learn the above names, and ascertain the language in which each romance was originally written. 5. Value of the novel. a. In the novel the reader may trace the progress of civilization through the centuries. b. Social and legal reforms have been effected by novels, notably those of Dickens, Thackeray and Wilkie Collins. c. Novels enable us to see the dark side of life without actual contact. d. Novels preserve manners and customs which would otherwise be lost. 6. First English novelists: Richardson, Smollett, Sterne, Fielding. Suggestion 6. Require pupils to learn the names merely.
