Fashionable novel
Fashionable novels, also called silver fork novels, were a 19th-century genre of English literature that depicted the lives of the upper class. They dominated the English literature market from the mid-1820s to the mid-1840s. They were often indiscreet, and on occasion "keys" would circulate that identified the real people on which the principal characters were based.〔 Their emphasis on the relations of the sexes and on marital relationships presaged later development in the novel.〔
Theodore Hook was a major writer of fashionable novels, and Henry Colburn was a major publisher.〔 Colburn particularly advertised them as providing insight into aristocratic life.〔 Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Benjamin Disraeli and Catherine Gore were other very popular writers.〔''(Catherine Gore 1799(?)-1861 )''〕 Many were advertised as being by aristocrats, for aristocrats.〔Claire Harman, ''Jane's Fame'', p 72 ISBN 978-0-8050-8258-6〕
William Hazlitt coined the term "silver fork" in an article on “The Dandy School” in 1827.〔Tamara S. Wagner, ''(The Silver Fork Novel )''〕 He characterized them as having "under-bred tone" because while they purported to tell the lives of aristocrats, they were commonly written by the middle-class.〔 Thomas Carlyle wrote ''Sartor Resartus'' in critique of their minute detailing of clothing, and William Makepeace Thackeray satirized them in ''Vanity Fair'' and ''Pendennis''.〔
As more women wrote the genre, it became increasingly moralized.〔(Silver Fork Novels )〕
