What's a classic novel/ story? When you hear "classic," you might think "old" but that isn't always true. A classic is a novel that represents a genre or a writing style, or it can be a novel that makes a contribution to literature. There are all kinds of classics, from horror classics to romance classics, from novels that sold millions of copies to a novel that changed how a genre was written. Classics come from all cultures and all years, and classics can reflect a time period, a societal standard or may offer commentary on a subject.
