Further definition of the genre is historically difficult. The
construction of the narrative, the plot, the way reality is
created in the works of fiction, the fascination of the
character study, and the use of language are usually discussed
to show a novel's artistic merits. Most of these requirements
were introduced in the 16th and 17th centuries in order to
give fiction a justification outside the field of factual
history. The individualism of the presentation makes the
personal memoir and the autobiography the two closest
relatives among the genres of modern histories.
