This index of novelists includes all novelists mentioned in the Encyclopedia as well as writers of other narrative forms that, while not themselves thought of as novels, played a significant role in the development of the novel. It is designed to be as generous as possible in determining which names to include. When questions arose, the editors generally chose to include writers rather than exclude them.
