Books Quiz - Genre - Novels 3 (Answers)
One feature that the novel has, which was absent in its predecessor the romance, is intimacy. Before the novel entered the scene tales were epic in scale and their protagonists were heroes in the true sense of the word!

Heroes had their own thoughts and anxieties which the reader was privy to for the first time and relationships grew between protagonists and readers which was private and personal.
