We need someone who knows their ancient novels...

Like the subject says, we need someone who knows their ancient novels to contribute to this article! I was about to say that I haven't even read Doody's 'True Story of the Novel', but then it occurred to me that I haven't even read most of the important ancient novels! And this is all to say nothing of medieval novels (I guess I'm thinking mainly of the prose Lancelot) and other medieval prose, novel-like things. Or early non-Western novels! I will come back to this article in a few years when I have done my homework... Brian P. Long 17:07, 22 April 2008 (CDT)

Like I said above, my knowledge of Ancient novels is pretty shaky and I don't have the appropriate references to hand, so anyone who knows better than I is welcome to make corrections to the section I wrote. Thanks, Brian P. Long 19:04, 25 April 2008 (CDT)
Right: The Water Margin; The Dream of the Red Chamber; just don't somebody forget to do those.... Bruce M.Tindall 06:08, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
It's all you, Bruce... Brian P. Long 14:38, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
