520    The 700-year history of the novel in English defies 
       straightforward telling. Geographically and culturally 
       diverse, with contributions from Great Britain, Ireland, 
       America, Canada, Australia, India, the Caribbean, and 
       Southern Africa, influenced by great novelists working in 
       other languages, and encompassing a range of genres, the 
       story of the novel in English unfolds like a richly varied
       landscape that invites exploration rather than a linear 
       journey. In The Novel: A Biography, Michael Schmidt quotes
       from "artist practitioners," from letters, diaries, 
       reviews, and essays of novelists, and draws on their 
       biographies, to invite us into the creative dialogues 
       between authors and between books, and suggest how these 
       dialogues have shaped the development of the novel in 
       English.
