Nove of Manners
The Novel of Manners is a realistic novel 
1.
It  comes  from  England
which  developed  in the nineteenth century  
That focuses on the customs, values, and

historical context.  
also the most sucsessful 
writer  in this form

Its  subject  is the set of 
consensus  on at least three  elements :
social  conventions of a 
particular class in a 
particular time and  place
The novel of manners is dominated by  women —as  authors , as subjects, and 
often as intended audience  
For example, in Jane Austen's novels there is always " husband -hunting" by 
female characters.

social behavior 
Adherence to good manners in  these texts is not only a reliable indicator of 
one's social standing, but is intended to serve as an indicator of good morals as 
well.
