In 'The Novel: What It Is,' American writer F. Marion Crawford defended his literary approach, self-conceived as a mixture of romanticism and realism, describing the art form in terms of its marketplace and audience. He stated, "A novel is a marketable commodity, of the class collectively termed "luxuries," as not contributing directly to the support of life or the maintenance of health."
