It was Sir Walter Scott who called Henry Fielding the father of English Novel. Because before Henry Fielding English novel could not come in its perfect form. Although Richardson had written Pamella, yet it was in epitolary form. The perfect narrative form of the novel came from the pen of Henry Fielding. Tom Jones is an example of Fielding's narrative skill as a novelist.

Daniel Defoe is often considered the "father of the English novel" for his work, "Robinson Crusoe," published in 1719. Defoe's realistic and detailed storytelling set a precedent for the development and popularity of the novel as a literary form in English literature.
