Summary/Abstract: This paper is an attempt to present the main Western theories regarding the novel – the artistic novel to be more precise – that were also translated into Romanian and fecundated the national literary field. We focus on the evolution of the thought about the novel, starting with Georg Lucaks’ seminal work, dedicated to what was the literary species, and up to Franco Moretti’s paradigm of shifting studies. This could prove to be an opportunity to observe the manner in which the genre was conceptualized and why.
