The first novel was most certainly not in the 11th century. There's still a published Roman novel, the metamorphisis. And there were others which were lost.

- astazangasta 8y agoThe Metamorphoses is not a novel. It isn't prose and it isn't narrative. A better candidate is Apuleius' "The Golden Ass".
- graeme 8y agoThat's one and the same. The Metamorphosis of Apuleis, otherwise known as the golden ass ;) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Ass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Ass
- goto11 8y agoYou are probably thinking of Metamorphoses by Ovid. The original title of The Golden Ass is also Metamorphoses.
