What's weird is that I thought I'd heard the title and author of the first American novel a long time ago but neither the author not title listed here seem familiar. Did I learn the wrong thing? I do believe the first novel written in the English language to be Le Morte D'Arthur by Sir Thomas Mallory. I think the first novel period is The Tale of Genji. Here's more about it: www.taleofgenji.org/Has anyone read it? I used to love to read Japanese and Chinese literature. One of my faves was The Confessions of Lady Nijo: www.gotterdammerung.org/books/reviews/c/confessions-of-lady-nijo.htmlThe Makioka Sisters was good too, sort of big Japanese soap opera!
