Features: Numerous works have attempted to explain novels, the techniques of novels, or the content of novels. Some of them, under certain linguistic changes and cultural contexts, provide readers with a historical or geographical panorama. Others, in contrast to the era of the events, tend more to explore the form and themes of the novel. Because, whether it is adventure novels, educational novels, or historical novels (the usual trichotomy), they all transcend narrow national boundaries and temporal limitations. These different approaches, whether diachronic or synchronic, all originate from comparative literature. They attempt to outline the contours of the novel by drawing from types that are no longer considered novels or by exploring genres that no longer belong to the category of novels.
