THE NOVEL PAG 129
THE LITERARY GENRE, WHICH DEVELOPED IN THE AUGUSTAN AGE, WAS THE NOVEL, AND FOR THIS REASON, THE AUGUSTAN AGE IS KNOWN AS THE AGE OF THE NOVEL.
THE NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE WHO READ IN THIS PERIOD INCREASED BECAUSE OF THE GROWING IMPORTANCE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS AND MOST READERS WHERE MIDDLE CLASS WOMEN WHO BORROWED BOOKS FROM LIBRARIES.

ANOTHER FORM OF READING THAT CIRCULATED DURING THE AUGUSTAN AGE WAS THE NEWSPAPER, THAT PUBLISHED STORIES AND NOVELS IN SERIAL FORM.
IN THE XVIII CENTURY, THE NOVELIST WAS THE SPOKEST MAN OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
THE MAIN NOVELISTS WERE DANIEL DEFOE, SAMUEL RICHARDSON AND JONATHAN SWIFT.
THE STYLE WAS MADE UP OF SIMPLE LANGUAGE TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY EVERYONE, BUT THE LANGUAGE WAS FULL OF DETAILS, ADJECTIVES, PARTICULARS TO ADD REALISM.
SO THE STYLE WAS SIMPLE BUT REALISTIC, THE MAIN CHARACTER IS THE HERO OF THE NOVEL.
THE PROTAGONIST WAS THE "BOURGEOIS MAN" AND HIS PROBLEMS. HE WAS THE HERO OF THE NARRATIVE, THE MOUTHPIECE OF THE AUTHOR, SO THE READER WAS EXPECTED TO SIMPATIZE WITH HIM.
THE NOVEL, IN THE AUGUSTAN AGE, HAD A GREAT SUCCESS, BECAUSE CHARACTERS STRUGGLED FOR THEIR SOCIAL SUCCESS JUST LIKE MIDDLE CLASS PUBLIC DID.

THE POINT OF VIEW CAN BE THE NARRATOR'S ONE OR THE CHARACTER'S ONE., BUT IN DANIEL DEFOE THE TWO POINTS OF VIEW COINCIDE.
