An English short novel is usually concise. It doesn't have the length to develop extremely complex plots like a long novel. For example, in 'The Necklace', the story focuses on a single event - Mathilde borrowing a necklace, losing it, and then spending years to pay for a replacement, only to find out the original was fake. The language is often direct and to the point, aiming to convey the main idea quickly.
The English novel's origin can be traced back to different elements. Early forms included prose works that were often moral or didactic in nature. The influence of Greek and Roman literature, with their narratives, also played a part. Moreover, the development of printing technology made it easier to disseminate written works. As a result, more people could access stories, and the novel gradually emerged as a distinct literary form with a focus on fictional characters and their experiences in the real - world or imagined settings.
English short novel stories are often concise yet impactful. They can quickly introduce characters and settings. For example, in 'The Gift of the Magi', within a short space, we get to know the young couple and their simple living situation. They also tend to focus on a single theme or idea. Like 'The Necklace' mainly revolves around the theme of vanity and its consequences.

These ghosts show him his past, present, and future, which makes him transform into a kinder and more generous person. It's not only a great story for Christmas but also a profound exploration of human nature.
A good english short novel often has a concise yet engaging plot. It can draw readers in quickly. For example, in 'The Most Dangerous Game', the action starts right away with the main character falling off a ship and into a dangerous situation.
One characteristic is their concise nature. They manage to tell a complete story in a relatively short space, often with a single, strong theme. For example, 'The Necklace' by Guy de Maupassant quickly gets to the point about the consequences of vanity.
