Development And Origin Of English Literature

Abstract

The 18th century was the novel's golden age as a literary form. Defoe, Richardson, Fielding, and Sterne are all important writers who shaped the evolution of the English novel. They had an impact on subsequent generations of authors. The novel's meteoric ascent in the 18th century coincided with the advent of the printing machine, a key component of the industrial revolution. Because of the domino effect of the industrial revolution, people's quality of life and standard of living both rose. Because of the growing number of well-educated middle-class individuals, the market for books has soared. The introduction of mobile libraries has helped expand the number of people who read. Members of the mobile library had convenient access to books since they were delivered to their houses.
