Elizabethan literature provides a starting point for identifying prototypes of the novel in England. Although not widespread, works of prose fiction were not uncommon during this period. Possibly the best known was Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, a romance published posthumously in xxxx. The novel also owes a debt to Elizabethan drama, which was the leading form of popular entertainment in the age of Shakespeare. The first professional novelist?that is, the first person to earn a living from publishing novels?was probably the dramatist Aphra Behn. Her xxxx Oronooko, or The Royal Slave typified the early English novel: it features a sensationalistic plot that borrowed freely from continental literature, especially from the imported French romance. Concurrent with Behn's career was that of another important early English novelist: John Bunyan. This religious author's Pilgrim's Progress, first published in xxxx, became one of the books found in nearly every English household. - See more at: http://www.enotes.com/topics/rise-english-novel#sthash.weIN2fXh.dpufWriting about romanticism in xxxx, A. O. Lovejoy lamented that the word ?romantic? had ?come to mean so many things that, by itself, it means nothing. It has ceased to perform the function of a verbal sign.? While I will not suggest that a similar lament applies to terms like regionalism, an essay on the interwar English regional novel cannot afford to bracket similar worries. In a xxxx PEN pamphlet, The English Regional Novel, Phyllis Bentley identifies the xxxxs and xxxxs as a period of resurgence in regional fiction, a time during which novelists like Winifred Holtby added ?the last touch of consciousness to the regional genre.? But what, after all, is ?the regional?? A region can be as large as the European peninsula. Within the political enterprise that is the European Union, however, regions subdivide a continent already sliced up into nation-states - and even then what counts as a region is far from certain. According to the latest Map of European Regions, a region might be an abstract geographical area like ?Mid East Ireland?; a subnational cultural and political unit like Bavaria; or a national but substate territory like Scotland or Wales. England appears to present a different problem altogether: the Assembly of European Regions divides it into some eighty-seven portions, including counties, parts of counties, and metropolitan authorities. Things are hardly more clear at the level of literary history, where ?region? is used to describe something as diverse as multilingual and multi-national literatures of the Caribbean archipelago and as specific as xxxxs ?Liverpool Scene? poetry. If we are fully to grasp the implications of regionalism as a thematic and generic trend in English fiction of the interwar years, then we must first be clear about the protean nature of this thing called a region.Prior to being involved in English Language Teaching (ELT) , author David A.Hill was a primary school teacher in the United Kingdom and has worked in Italy and Serbia, teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL). Among the ELT areas he is interested in are the teaching of young learners and teenagers, materials development , literature in language teaching and teacher training. David also writes,publishes and translates peotry. He has written two novels for learners of English published by Cambidge University Press and they are A Matter of Chance (xxxx) and How I Met Myself (xxxx).Since xxxx,David A.Hill has been a freelance consultant for the International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language (IATEFL). The job requires him to work with students,teachers,ministries and the British Council worldwide.he is currently the Coordinator of the Literature ,Media and Cultural Studies Special Interest Group (SIG) of the IATEFL and works out of Budapest , Hungary.This influenced the setting of the novel How I Met Myself, where the story takes place in Budapest,Hungary. John Taylor was an English computer programmer who worked in Budapest,Hungary, and lived there with his wife, Andrea, and daughter,Kati.He was walking home from work one day when he bumped into his doppelganger.John believed the doppelganger had come to give him a message.John did some research and found that a man, with a name similar to his, had lived in that area many years ago along with a wife and daughter ? whose names were also Andrea and Kati.The person's wife and daughter were killed in a tragedy.The timely warning from John's doppelganger saved John's wife and daughter from a similar fateJohn was walking home from work one everning when someone ran into him,causing him to fall into the snow on the ground.When John looked up, he saw that the person looked exactly like him.John felt very afraid.He decided to follow the person but was unable to track him down as he seemed to have disappeared.John also realised that the person did not leave any footprint in the snow.He did not know what to do. John began having dreams about that evening.This resulted in him losing concentration at work, staying out late and having arguments with his wife, Andrea.Finally, John decided to tell Andrea about the incident. At farst, she was supportive. However, once their daughter ,Kati, was born, Andrea was constantly angry at him for paying more attention to his doppelganger than to his family.John had no choice but to find out more about his doppelganger on his own.A similar incident that had happened to the doppelganger and his family years ago occurred exactly on the same date. When John heard a very loud noise that sounded like an explosion, he realised that Andrea and Kati were at the same cafe where his doppelganger's wife and daughter were killed.He rushed over and saw that the place had been destroyed again.John tried to get into the ruins of the destroyed cafe to find and rescue his wife and daughter but a fireman prevented him from going in.The place was full of gas and was too dangerous.John was told to go home as there was nothing else he could do to help.He was heartbroken.He realised that he should have paid more attention to the message his doppelganger was trying to tell him.From the moment John first saw the doppelganger, his life changes and he lived in fear.He was afraid because he could not understand what was happening to him and his thoughts were constantly on the doppelganger.At work,his performance suffered as he forgot important things that he should have remembered. Furthermore, his fear took a turn for the worse when he started having nightmares about the doppelganger. He began to feel terrified and so did Andrea. This fear of the unknown caused a strain in their relationship and their marriage suffered.Bess, the daughter of a man who worked in the management of the Niagara Falls power plant, and Tom, the young riverman she falls in love with, are everyday people, loving and lovable, interesting and individual. Even Tom, modeled after a historical figure who could seem larger than life, has a simplicity that makes his unusual abilities and his heroism seem perfectly natural. Sometimes lyrical, the prose is also straightforward, so that the beauty of the way something is said never obscures the meaning of what is being said. The novel's theme deals with death and spirituality in a graceful way that never preachesA sequel to A Tabernacle for the Sun, which appears on my "Best of xxxx" list below, this novel delves more deeply into the conflicts between old ideas and new at the beginning of the Renaissance. Too often, philosophy seems like a dry, abstract endeavor without direct application to people's lives in the real world. Even more than A Tabernacle for the Sun, this novel shows how intensely, wrenchingly emotional the ramifications of the new ideas that gave birth to the Renaissance could be and how powerfully they affected people's daily lives.It can be tempting to attribute Africa's problems entirely to its history of being exploited under colonialism (or entirely to the failings of Africans). The surrealism of this slender novel is, ironically, what allows it to grapple so perceptively and realistically with the roots of Africa's problems not only in the brutality of the colonizers, but also in the greed and passivity of Africans who enabled the colonization process. Time is condensed for its hero, who lives through the history of Africa from before Europeans arrived until after Africans finally won their independence, and reaches a point of genuinely joyful insight.The best historical novels are directly relevant to modern issues, illuminating dynamics so entrenched they may seem immutable by tracking back to their origins in the past. Some of the characters in Rifling Paradise are sympathetic, some appallingly unsympathetic, but both types of characters play a role in the exploitation of Australia's primeval natural environment. Weaving through this gripping, suspenseful story are subtleties of language and incident that offer important clues to additional layers of irony and insight, a treasure trove for the thoughtful reader who enjoys tracing themThis novel is remarkable for its atmosphere, so thick and foreboding you could cut it with a knife. Two young women, each psychologically deformed by the differently exploitive ways in which they were brought up, meet, grow close, and make a desperate bid for freedom. In dreams, a house is often a symbol of the self, and Fingersmith mines the tradition of the Gothic novel to create a house whose isolation, mystery and confining atmosphere reflect the lives of its inhabitants
