Novels are the longest form of fictional narrative.
The Rise of The Novel Lecture Notes
Ian Watt's The Rise of the Novel examines the emergence of the novel as a new literary form in the 18th century. Watt argues that the novel was characterized by its quality of realism, seen in its depth of description and attempts to portray human experience scientifically and from the perspective of individuals. Watt analyzes exemplary early novels like Robinson Crusoe and Pamela to show how they reflected contemporary ideologies like individualism and changing views of private life and social relationships. Watt also discusses how later 18th century novels by Richardson and Fielding further developed the psychological realism and complexity of the novel as a mature literary form.
Introduction to satire
This document provides an overview of satire as a literary genre that uses techniques like irony, wit and sarcasm to critique society and promote reform.

The document also examines characteristics commonly found in satirical writing, such as irony, hyperbole, caricature, wit, sarcasm, ridicule, parody and invective. Students are then assigned to analyze a video for examples of these satirical techniques and classify it as Horatian or Juvenalian satire.
Orientation of Critical Theories by M. H. Abrams
Abrams stands unique because of his four oriental critical theories which cover up the entire history of English literary theories and criticism.
The Ode
The ode is a formal poem that originated in ancient Greece as a song or chant accompanied by dance. Traditionally, odes celebrate or praise their subject and are directed at something not present. They can explore personal or general issues. Odes are usually moderate to long in length and formal in nature. There are three main types: Pindaric odes follow a three-part structure and were performed with music; Horatian odes are more contemplative; and irregular odes contain elements of other ode types but with a flexible format.

Style, tone, & irony copy
This document provides an overview of style, tone, and irony in writing. It begins with a brief introduction and includes links to different sections on style, tone, mood, and types of irony. Examples are given for each topic to illustrate concepts. The document examines how a writer's use of language conveys tone or attitude and how irony can be used to develop deeper meaning in a text.
Tone
Tone refers to the implied attitude of a writer toward their subject and characters. It can be conveyed through word choices that reveal an author's perspective. Understanding tone is key to comprehending an author's intended meaning and the relationship between the reader and text. Elements like descriptive language, word choice, and details contribute to establishing an overall tone, such as happy, sad, or serious. To identify tone, readers should pay attention to these elements and ask how the author feels about their topic and how those feelings are expressed.
Setting
The document discusses the importance of setting in stories. It provides examples from three short stories: Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison, which takes place in a wealthy hotel ballroom in the South; Two Kinds by Amy Tan, set in San Francisco, California in 1949; and A Rose for Emily by William Faulkner, located in Jefferson, Mississippi in the late 1800s. The concluding paragraph emphasizes that setting creates mood, atmosphere, and shapes characters and plots. Descriptive settings allow readers to visualize the time period and place, and help form an emotional connection to the story. Setting is a crucial tool for authors to effectively engage their audience.
IRONY (Stylistics)by Yuldashova Shakhnoza
This document defines and discusses different types of irony. It begins by defining irony as a device that uses two opposite meanings, one that is stated and one that is intended. It then outlines several types of irony:

The document also notes irony is often used in literature to create comic effects or combine with satire. For instance, an author may state a "fact" that is then shown to be untrue for ironic purposes.
The Setting of a Story
The setting of a story refers to the time and place in which the story takes place. It helps establish the mood and atmosphere of the story and affects the characters and their actions. Common settings include locations, time periods, and environments such as oceans, forests, houses, small towns, deserts, schools, outer space, and more.
