	==Argument 4: ~~Our modern boundaries between fact~~ and ~~fiction~~ did ~~not exist before~~ the 17th century==		==Argument 5: The "Rise of the Novel" has been twice re-written over the past 100 years==

			*'''The rise of the novel''' was originally - from the 16th into the 18th century - understood as the rise of realistic shorter stories (today called "novellas") defeating the rivaling romances
			:*'''Novels''' - such as Cervantes' ''Novelas exemplares'' (1613) - were supposed to
			::*teach through '''good and bad examples''' of what men and women did in peculiar ("novel", i.e. new) situations
			::*entertain with their rapidly evolving plots of '''intrigues''' (i.e. secret plans),
			::*be written in '''plain and modern language''',
			::*end in a '''point''' - a surprising turn of the events which the story teller could be expected to use for a more or less serious moral conclusion
			:*'''Romances''' - such as the ''Amadis'' which had driven Cervantes' ''Don Quixote'' into a comical heroism - were supposed to
			::*be '''long epic works'''
			::*delight with a language full of '''lofty expressions''',
			::*be constructed as in successions of '''adventures''',
			::*celebrate the deeds of '''great heroes''',
			::*inspire an '''emulation''' of the hero's spirit.
			*The "rise of the novel" as defined in 1957 by '''Ian Watt''' in his book of the same title
			:*turned '''French fictional works of the 17th century''' into original production of '''"romances"''',
			:*claimed the new romances written by '''Defoe and his followers''' to be the first '''real "modern novels"'''.
			*Research of the last two decades has detected a production of "novels" written before Defoe. Authors from Aphra Behn to Eliza Haywood have become '''"mothers of the English novel"''' in this development.
