A Primer of the Novel also identifies terms, definitions, commentary, and examples in the form of quotations for almost 50 types of novels and 15 artistic techniques. This unique handbook provides a definition and history of the novel, a description of early narratives, and a discussion of critical approaches to this literary form.

Since then, many authors and editors have produced works that attempt the same comprehensive coverage of the genre. When the first edition of David Madden's A Primer of the Novel: For Readers and Writers was published more than twenty-five years ago, there were no other books of its kind available. ![]()
