A novel (from, Italian novella, Spanish novela, French nouvelle for "new", "news", or "short story of something new") is today a long prose narrative set out in writing. The seventeenth-century genre conflict between long romances and short novels, novellas, has brought definitions of both traditions into the modern usage of the term.

Romances - into the 18th century the general generic term - were originally written in verse. Prose became the regular medium with the introduction of paper - in Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries, in Asia earlier. Prose provided the ideal matter for silent and intimate reading, it could be translated without greater stylistic losses. Paper (cheaper than parchment) could be easier spent on coincidental wordings of long prose histories. The printed book completed the development towards a product which could actually address the individual silent reader. Verse romances became part of the epic tradition; prose romances developed an internal debate over their proper design and their special history. A search for precursors ensued with the effect that the "novel", so the modern generic term, can today look back on diverse beginnings whether in ancient Greece or in medieval Eastern Asia.

A frequent, and immediately controversial, part of any modern definition is fictionality, invention - a problematic characteristic since authors of prose fiction have repeatedly dealt with history with unprecedented frankness and since we have "true" histories which intentionally spread misinformation and manipulation, carefully crafted fictions, without ever being discussed as novels. The statement which avoided both problems is the older one that novels and romances are a legitimate reading for their being both instructive and diverting,even if they should be mere fictions, inventions.
