The development of the industrial age awakened the creativity of man. When the expression of facts was considered necessary, the novel came into existence and this genre of literature was used to express all kinds of serious psychological and intellectual and deep thoughts. Richardson's Pamela is considered to be the first novel in English. In Europe, the novel was in its early stages of development. At that time there was an era of stories in India.
