| Sumario: | The novel is the literary form that most extensively informs us of nineteenth-century English culture: not its realities but the ideologies that shaped social beliefs. Fiction not only reflects ideologies; it participates in their formation and modification. But ideologies shift rapidly more than actualities of personal or social life, making the form of the novel shift accordingly.
