The Epistolary Novel is written as a series of letters from one or more of the characters. It could be all from just one character, an ongoing correspondence between two characters or letters from a variety of characters addressed to a number of different people. Later on, books evolved to start using other devices than just letters. This gave rise to the Scrapbook Story format, of which this can be considered a subtrope. See also The Rashomon, Literary Agent Hypothesis (authors will occasionally credit themselves as "compiler" or similar). Examples of Epistolary Novel include:

  • The Epistolary Novel is written as a series of letters from one or more of the characters. It could be all from just one character, an ongoing correspondence between two characters or letters from a variety of characters addressed to a number of different people. Which form the novel takes can affect how information is revealed to us. If it is monologic then what we'll have is a single possibly biased view and we may have to read between the lines to get the subtext or to note the characterization that comes through. When between just two characters, these novels are often love letters or the restriction to just two characters will be used to compare the intimacy between these two compared to the rest of the world. When dealing with many characters, which could be many-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-loads, we can compare how one character treats two different characters, what they reveal in one case compared to another. We can also return to the practice of revealing information not revealed to some of the characters and introduce Dramatic Irony. Later on, books evolved to start using other devices than just letters. This gave rise to the Scrapbook Story format, of which this can be considered a subtrope.
