A History of English Prose Fiction

"A History of English Prose Fiction" by Bayard Tuckerman is a record of how storytelling in English evolved, from old-fashioned tales to the novels we read today. It peeks into the past to see how these stories grew and changed over time. Tuckerman begins with the start of narrative and adventure stories in Europe during a time of knights and castles, showing how those stories reflected the values of that age. It's like discovering how stories mirrored the culture and times, eventually setting the scene for future books and authors.
