Types of the novel

  More people read novels rather than any other form of literature. We read popular romances, crime thrillers and many other types of fiction. Some more common types of novels are as follows:

Picaresque Novel: This is the earliest type of novel. It derives its name from the Spanish word picaro which means rogue. The main character of such a novel may be a good-hearted rogue or one who is a social outcast. S/he makes his/her way in the world by outwitting others. The novelist follows him/her on his/her various adventures and the plot is thus loose and episodic.

Gothic Novel: This type of novel began to be written towards the end of the eighteenth century when there was a revival of interest in the supernatural. It derives its name from a particular style in architecture. Set against a background of haunted medieval castles, it is a story of horror and terror. It features monsters and ghosts in violent and sensational adventures.
