Summary of the first meeting, 19thApril 2001
At the beginning of the meeting we had an initial discussion on the three genres in literaturedrama, poetry and epic, and we agreed on the fact that the line between the two latter genres is hard to draw as both are written in verse.
As in this course we will be dealing with novels, we tried to place the novel among one of these genres and to find the first novel that has ever been written and found that Chaucer’s narrative „Canterbury Tales“ (14thcentury) could easily be called a novel, whereas late 17th
century writers like Shakespeare or Marlowe preferred the genre of drama. About Cervantes’ „Don Quixote“ (17thcentury) we named the aspects of satire and parody. This satire deals
with society and politics, while the parody mimics the literary form of chivalric and pastoral code. In the end we agreed on the first novel having been written at the turn of the 17th/18th
century and named Dafoe’s „Moll Flanders“. Characteristic about it is its authenticity and naturalism. It deals with the lives of lower class people and describes the ordinariness of life at that time. Interest in these topics grew -as we said- because monarchy lost power and as printing as well as books became cheap, more people of all kinds of social background took to reading.
