novel and shorter fiction. Revised throughout to reflect the

chapter on popular fiction that covers children's fiction, horror
and the gothic, science fiction, the detective story, the comic
novel, and the graphic novel. The chapter on World Literature has
been expanded to include sections on fiction and apartheid, and the

prose fiction in one reader-friendly volume, the book covers: - The
history and diversity of the novel, from early ancestors to new
electronic forms - The novel, the novella, and the short story -
