Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616) usually receives credit for writing the first modern novel, Don Quixote (1605 and 1615). A novel is a long, fictional narrative, written in prose (not poetry) in which the author depicts characters and events in a realistic manner. Don Quixote, which fits this description, tells the story of a gentleman landowner named Alonzo Quitana, who imagines himself a medieval knight Don Quixote and becomes embroiled in numerous adventures with his sidekick Sancho Panza. Considered a masterpiece, the work inspired later writers to write adventure novels. Today the word "quixotic" describes someone who is foolishly romantic or idealistic, like the character Don Quixote.

The first black person to write a novel is often considered to be Olaudah Equiano, whose autobiographical work "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano" was published in 1789. However, the first novel published by a black woman in English is generally attributed to Harriet E. Wilson, whose book "Our Nig" was published in 1859. While Equiano's work is a narrative rather than a traditional novel, both figures are significant in the context of early black literature.
