If a novel is a long prose work of fiction, then the first novels in English are:
1. Le Morte d'Arthur ("The Death of Arthur"), Thomas Mallory, 1485
2. The Pilgrim's Progress, John Bunyan, 1678
3. Robinson Crusoe, Daniel Defoe, 1719
Le Morte d'Arthur is a compilation of tales, and therefore may not qualify as a novel. (For those who suggested Chaucer or Shakespeare, neither of them wrote novels; both wrote poetry and Shakespeare also wrote plays.)
