Novels are a popular form of narrative literary expression. Novels can inspire a multitude of essays, ranging from simple compare and contrast papers to more complex papers dealing with thematic elements and the broad social context of the literary work. It is important to give proper citation, so the reader can easily locate the novel for reference. Citing a novel using MLA style also ensures that it is not confused with another of the same name.
