Historiens gang



Sitat frå ein artikkel i kompendiet vårt i British Studies, om utviklinga av romanen som sjanger på 17-1800-tallet (mi utheving): 

"Indeed, it has been said that the novel as a genre came into existence at that point in history when God the father ceased to be central in people´s experience, and that all novels search for an order to take the place of security of the original patriarchal order." 
John Peck, Studying fiction and prose

Litt trist, egentlig.
