From the Paper:

'The 19th century saw the rise of a new literary form, the novel, which we can say dominates this sphere of artistical activity until our days. As Robin Gilmour expressed: "The supreme literary achievement of the Victorian age is in its prose fiction. However much we may value the Victorian achievement in poetry, it is in the novels of Dickens and George Eliot, Thackeray and Trollope, Charlotte and Emily Bronte and Hardy, that the creative strengths of the period are most powerfully concentrated."
