Detailed Answer :
The epistolary novel, on the other hand, used the private and personal form of letters to tell its story. Samuel Richardson Pamela, written in the eighteenth century, told much of its story through an exchange of letters between two lovers. These letters tell the reader of the hidden conflicts in the heroine's mind.
In 1836 a notable event took place when Charles Dickens's Pickwick Papers was serialised in a magazine. Magazines were attractive since they were illustrated and cheap. Serialisation allowed readers to relish the suspense, discuss the characters of a novel and live for weeks with their stories like viewers of television soaps to day !
