Warming up

⑴Warming up by talking about Jane Eyre Jane Austen (December 16, 1775

–

July 18, 1817) was a prominent English novelist whose work is considered part of the Western canon. Despite living the sheltered life of a spinster, her insights into women's lives and her mastery of form and irony made her arguably the most noted and influential novelist of her era. ⑵Warming up by defining novels To begin with let’s try to find out what a novel is.

A novel (from French nouvelle, "new") is an extended fictional narrative in prose. Down into the 18th century, the word referred specifically to short fictions of love and intrigue as opposed to romances—epic-length works about love and adventures. Having become one of the major literary genres over the past 200 years the novel is today the object of discussions demanding artistic merits, a specific literary style and a deeper meaning than a true story of the same content could claim to have. ⑶Warming up by talking about the greatest classical Chinese novels What is in my hand? Yes, you guess right. It is The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in Chinese三国演. I t is one of the greatest classic novels by Chinese writers. What Chinese classic novels have you read in Chinese or in English? Let’s see this list of Chinese language novelists:
