"The History of Fiction, therefore, becomes, in a considerable degree, interesting to the philosopher, and occupies an important place in the history of the progress of society. By contemplating the fables of a people, we have a successive delineation of their prevalent modes of thinking, a picture of their feelings and tastes and habits. In this respect prose fiction appears to possess advantages considerably superior either to history or poetry. In history there is too little individuality; in poetry too much effort, to permit the poet and historian to portray the manners living as they rise."--History of Fiction (1814) by John Colin Dunlop |

Six steps in the history of fiction:
- People tell tall tales by the campfire
- People come up with the idea to act out these stories, which becomes theatre
- The novel is invented for the solitary enjoyment of fiction (see Eugène Sue), theatre remains the most popular way to consume fiction. Reading novels was popular from the reading revolution to the advent of sound film.
- Cinema replaces the novel and theatre as primary source of fiction
- Home video replaces the cinema
- Gaming puts the audience in the first person perspective
