1. Historically specific phenomenon of literature
a. In ancient Greece and Rome, most literature was in verse.
b. In Elizabethan England, it was much smarter to be a sonneter than a prose fiction author.
Prose fiction consists of many sub-genres. Some of these are usually defined quite simply by length The main categories are novel and short story. Novel is a fictional narrative that is long enough to be published as a book by itself. If it's a single prose fiction narrative and long enough to have been published originally as a book then it's novel.
Novellas or we might choose to call these long short novels or long short stories, are texts that can fill a whole book but do not seem quite big enough.
Example : The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
a. The thinking of short story leads to an emphasis on the relatively simple central point if the narrative.
b. The thinking of novel turns the reader's attention to its complex narrative structure, the relatively large number of significant characters, and the extent if which it depicts an elaborate urban setting, even a fictional 'world'

3. A narrative is a sequence of events, fictional or non-fictional, told or narrated by someone (narrator) to someone else (audience or the reader or narratee). The whole business of how narrators narrate narratives to narratees is called narratology.
4. The definition of novellas
Novellas or we might choose to call these long short novels or long short stories, are texts that can fill a whole book but do not seem quite big enough.
Example : The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
5. The difference between thinking the texts as short story and novel :
a. The thinking of short story leads to an emphasis on the relatively simple central point if the narrative.
b. The thinking of novel turns the reader's attention to its complex narrative structure, the relatively large number of significant characters, and the extent if which it depicts an elaborate urban setting, even a fictional 'world'
6. If we put the terminology for fictional narratives in an international context, other question arise. What we call a 'novel' in English is, in some other languages, including French, German and Danish, a roman (pronounced in various ways). This is another sign that categories that we use do not come from any infallible authority.

Literature : Prose Fiction
Works of prose fiction, especially novels, get reviewed in daily newspapers; occasionally even on television. Some get made into blockbuster movies.
So, for quite a lot of people, prose fiction is what literature is. Not that this is a historically specific phenomenon. In Elizabethan England it was much smarter to be a sonneteer than a prose fiction author. Again, that is not the way it is now.
Even if people do not think of literature automatically as prose, they may assume that it is fiction – but that is also a historically specific way of thinking. 'Prose' and 'fiction', these are important concepts, and – like all concepts – they shouldn't be taken for granted.
Prose fiction genres – and narrative
Prose fiction consists of many sub-genres. Some of these are usually defined quite simply by length. The main categories are the novel and the short story. Some extremely short prose fiction texts – for example, some of the late writings of Samuel Beckett – have been published by themselves in very slim volumes. If it is a single prose fiction narrative, and long enough to have been published originally as a book in itself (or even in two or more volumes), then it's a novel.
Narrative, which is much more general than "novel" or even "prose fiction". A narrative is a sequence of events, fictional or non-fictional, told or narrated by someone – the narrator – to someone else. In literary narrative, the person – known or unknown, named or anonymous – who narrates the narrative is the narrator. The narratee is the person to whom the narrative seems to be directed : in that sense, producing a narrative involves creating a reader, just as it involves creating a narrator and characters.
There is also a category of prose fiction texts between: texts that can fill a whole book but do not seem quite big enough to be in the same category as War and Peace, Ulysses, or even Pride and Prejudice. We might choose to call these short novels or long short stories.
If we put the terminology for fictional narratives in an international context, other questions arise. What we call a 'novel' in English is, in some other languages, including French, German, and Danish, a 'roman' (pronounced in various ways). This is another sign that the categories that we use do not come from any infallible authority. Exactly the same extended prose narrative have come to be called by a name that derives for the Anglo-French term romance in some languages and from Latin for something new (novus – novella – novel) in others.
