The English novel has evolved through several key stages. Initially, there were early forms like the picaresque novels which had a roguish protagonist traveling and having adventures. Then came the 18th - century novels which often had a moral or satirical purpose, like those by Henry Fielding. In the 19th century, the novel really flourished with the rise of the realist novel, focusing on the daily lives and social issues of the time. Dickens is a prime example. Later, modernist novels in the 20th century broke many traditional narrative rules and explored new ways of representing consciousness.

Well, initially in the development of the English novel, it was often influenced by oral traditions. Later, during the Enlightenment period, novels started to deal with social issues more deeply. For example, Dickens' novels showed the harsh social realities. In the 20th century, novels like 'Ulysses' by Joyce broke many traditional narrative structures, marking a new era in the development of the English novel.

The development of the American novel is a long and complex process. Initially, novels were few and far between as the new nation was focused on other aspects. However, as time passed, different literary movements shaped it. For example, the Romantic period led to more emotional and nature - centered novels. The Realist movement then brought a focus on everyday life and social issues. And in more recent times, post - modernist trends have made the American novel even more fluid and self - referential, with authors playing with narrative structures and blurring the lines between fact and fiction.

The development of a novel's plot was usually divided into four main stages, each with different characteristics and topics. The following is a description of the four main stages of the plot development: 1. The conflict stage: At this stage, the main conflict of the story begins to emerge. This conflict could be a conflict of interest, emotional conflict, identity conflict, etc. between the characters. It usually appeared at the beginning or in the middle of the story. This stage was usually the most intense and attractive stage of the story, and it was also the beginning of the story's development. 2. Exploration phase: After the conflict phase, the story enters the exploration phase. At this stage, the character began to understand the environment and character relationships and began to take action. This stage was usually an important stage in the story, and it was also a critical moment for the character's personality and emotional changes. 3. Climax phase: After the exploration phase, the story enters the climax phase. At this stage, the conflict between the characters reached its peak and the characters began to make the final decision and take action. This stage was usually the most intense and attractive stage of the story, and it was also the climax of the story. 4. Ending Stage: After the climax stage, the story enters the ending stage. At this stage, the actions and decisions of the characters are explained and the ending of the story is determined. This stage was usually the end of the story and the stage where the reader was satisfied with the story.

The four main stages of a novel's plot development are usually described as: 1. The conflict stage: At this stage, the main conflict of the story (usually some complicated emotional conflict) begins. The protagonist needs to resolve these conflicts in order for the story to continue. 2. Narration Stage: At this stage, the story begins to be narrated. The protagonist and the reader enter the story world together. At this stage, the protagonists began to show their personalities and characteristics and set the background for the story. 3. The turning point: At this stage, the protagonist faces a decisive challenge, usually some important decision that will lead to a turning point in their destiny. The challenge could be technical (like traveling through time and space) or emotional (like changing one's identity). 4. Climax stage: At this stage, the story reaches its climax and the protagonist faces the most intense battle or the biggest challenge. This is the stage where the reader usually feels the most nervous and excited. The story would usually end after that, leaving behind a memorable ending.
