Development[edit]
Signs of Light is The Head and the Heart's first studio album since 2013’s Let's Be Still. After signing with Warner Bros. Records, the band reached out to Jay Joyce to help produce the album.[3] The album is named after the final track of the album, "Signs of Light" which was written by Josiah Johnson, who went on hiatus from the band in March 2016.[4]
Release and promotion[edit]
Signs of Light debuted at number five on the US Billboard 200, selling 40,000 equivalent-album units in its first week, with 37,000 coming from pure album sales.[5] This is their second consecutive top 10 album, when Let's Be Still peaked at number 10 in 2013. The album also debuted at the top spot on the Top Rock Albums chart, which ranks the week’s best-selling rock albums.[5]
Singles[edit]
On June 3, 2016, "All We Ever Knew" was released as the album's lead single and was made available for purchase and streaming. The music video released on the July 21, 2016, which was directed by Marc Klasfeld.[6] On its seventh week, the song reached the top spot on the Billboard Adult Alternative Songs chart, the band's first since "Lost in My Mind" in 2011.[7] Jonathan Russell told Esquire that "All We Ever Knew" was chosen as the lead single because, "it felt like a bridge between what we have been doing musically and what we're leaning towards. There are definitely songs on the record that are more examples of a direction that people haven't seen us go in. It felt like this record had a foot in the past and a foot in the future."[4]
On September 14, 2016, they performed "All We Ever Knew" on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.[8] The song was also performed on the series premiere of Showtime's Roadies.[9]

List of Doctor Who serials
The tenth series of the British science fiction television programme Doctor Who premiered on 15 April 2017 and concluded on 1 July 2017, and consisted of twelve episodes, after it was announced in July 2015 that BBC Worldwide had invested in a tenth series of the programme in its annual review. The series is led by head writer and executive producer Steven Moffat, alongside executive producer Brian Minchin. It is the third and final series overseen by the two as executive producers, as well as Moffat's sixth and final series as head writer. This series is the tenth to air following the programme's revival in 2005, and is the thirty-sixth season overall.
Preceded by a Christmas special in December 2016, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", the series is the third and final series starring Peter Capaldi as the Twelfth Doctor, an incarnation of the Doctor, an alien Time Lord who travels through time and space in his TARDIS, which appears to be a British police box on the outside; Capaldi announced in January 2017 that he would be stepping down from the role after the tenth series. The series introduces Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts, the Doctor's newest travelling companion, and also features Matt Lucas as Nardole, who appeared in the 2015 and 2016 Christmas specials. Michelle Gomez and John Simm return as their respective incarnations of the Master. The main story arc for the first half of the series revolved around the Doctor and Nardole occupying themselves as a university professor and assistant while they guard a vault containing Missy, who the Doctor has sworn to protect for a thousand years after her supposed execution. Missy later travels with the team in the TARDIS, and eventually partners with her previous incarnation as they all battle a Cyberman onslaught.
Steven Moffat wrote four episodes for the series. Other returning writers who have worked on this series and previous ones include Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Sarah Dollard, Jamie Mathieson, Peter Harness, Toby Whithouse and Mark Gatiss, as well as two new writers for the revived era of the programme, Mike Bartlett and Rona Munro, the latter of whom wrote Survival, the final serial of the original classic era. Directors of the series included three who have previously worked on the show, and three brand new ones. Filming began on 20 June 2016 and lasted just over nine months, ending on 7 April 2017. The series received positive reviews from critics, with the series being labelled as "a return to form for the sci-fi series", while the performances of Capaldi and Mackie were met with the most praise, as well as the writing, plots and themes of the episodes.

The Doctor and Nardole have occupied themselves under the guise of a university professor and assistant. Bill Potts is called to the Doctor's office, where Bill becomes the Doctor's student. Bill becomes intrigued by a student named Heather. Heather asks her to inspect a puddle, asking her if she can see what's wrong with her reflection.

Bill returns to her flat, and is chased by a moving body of fluid: A living fluid from an alien ship that has absorbed Heather and her feelings for Bill. Bill runs to the Doctor's office and they flee into the TARDIS. The Doctor moves the TARDIS, where he and Nardole check on a vault they are guarding. The TARDIS lands again in Australia, where the Doctor admits who he is. The fluid follows them to another planet in the future, then through a Dalek battle, but survives. Bill convinces "Heather" to let her go, and it departs. The Doctor and Bill return to his office, where he attempts to wipe Bill's memories of the day but she stops him. As Bill leaves, she finds the Doctor waiting with the TARDIS, and joins him.

The Doctor and Bill arrive on one of Earth's first colonised planets, Gliese 581d. They are greeted only by two different types of robots: swarm robots (Vardies) and slow but sentient emojibots. An emojibot gives the Doctor and Bill discs that communicate their true emotions. The Doctor theorizes that the planet is awaiting the colonists but soon realizes that the skeletons of a set-up crew have been crushed to feed the plants. Determined to blow up the city, he finds the main ship within it and its engine room, but Bill runs into a child who has awoken from a pod. The colonists were cryogenically frozen, with a few "shepherds" woken early to work. After one shepherd died, the emojibots could not recognise grief and killed all in mourning in an onslaught against sadness. The awakened colonists decide to fight back, but the Doctor wipes the memory of the robots and reboots everything... only humans must now learn to live with the Vardies, the planet's indigenous species. Then, after the TARDIS returns them to London, the Doctor and Bill discover themselves on a frozen Thames River, an elephant walking towards them on the ice.

The Doctor and Bill find they have arrived in London in 1814, in the midst of a frost fair on the frozen Thames. The Doctor's sonic screwdriver is stolen by Spider, an orphan pickpocket led by Kitty. The Doctor and Bill chase down Spider and Kitty away from the fair. There, glowing lights under the ice encircle Spider's feet and Spider is pulled through the ice. The Doctor and Bill get into diving suits and purposely let the lights take them; they find a giant sea creature ensnared by chains. They learn from Kitty of Lord Sutcliffe; Sutcliffe affirms his family has used the creature to amass a fortune by collecting and selling its waste as a replacement for coal. Sutcliffe sends the Doctor and Bill to be eaten, while he rigs a bomb to cause the ice to shatter. The Doctor and Bill escape, and the Doctor takes the bomb and places it on the creature's chains. When Sutcliffe sets off the bomb, the creature is freed. They return to the present, where Nardole scolds the Doctor for breaking his oath. While checking the Vault beneath the University, Nardole hears something behind it knock repeatedly.
268
4 "Knock Knock" Bill Anderson Mike Bartlett 6 May 2017 (2017-05-06) 5.73 83
Bill and five students sign a contract with a mysterious Landlord to live in his manor house. After helping Bill move her things in, the Doctor becomes suspicious of the nature of the Landlord. A number of the students mysteriously disappear and the groups are separated. The Doctor along with Harry, one of the students, discover a strange cockroach-like creature which the former nicknames "Dryads". Down in the basement they discover contracts from decades ago. The Landlord discovers them and reveals the whole incident was to keep his daughter, Eliza, alive. Bill and another student Shireen, come across Eliza who reveals herself to be completely wooden. After finding Bill, the Doctor realises that the Landlord is actually Eliza's son. The Landlord attempts to send the Dryads after the Doctor and Bill, but Eliza manages to control them. She embraces the Landlord as the Dryads consume them. The students are restored to their physical bodies as the house collapses. Back at the university, the Doctor enters the vault to feed their prisoner as piano music echoes from inside.
269
5 "Oxygen" Charles Palmer Jamie Mathieson 13 May 2017 (2017-05-13) 5.27 83
Nardole accompanies the Doctor and Bill to a space station to answer a distress call. Most of the crew have been killed by their smartsuits, robotic spacesuits capable of independent movement which are the only source of oxygen on the station, forcing the TARDIS crew to don spares. The suits received an order to "deactivate organic components"; some crew survived by being disconnected, but networked suits can transmit the command by touch. Bill's suit malfunctions, forcing the Doctor to give her his helmet to save her, exposing himself to the vacuum of space, which blinds him; he later leaves her behind to be electrocuted, knowing her suit hasn't the power for a lethal shock. The algorithm used by the company determined the crew were inefficient and thus too expensive to keep alive. He wires the survivors' life signs to the station so that if they die it will explode, making it more expensive to kill them, so the suits give over their remaining oxygen. Bill is revived, the Doctor's eyes are repaired, and the survivors return to their head office to complain. Back at the university, the Doctor reveals to Nardole he is still blind.
270
6 "Extremis" Daniel Nettheim Steven Moffat 20 May 2017 (2017-05-20) 5.53 82
A long time ago, the Doctor is sent to execute Missy, only to have Nardole interrupt on the behest of River Song. He refuses to kill Missy, instead opting to imprison and guard her for 1000 years. In the present, the Pope comes to the Doctor, asking to help translate a text called "Veritas". Everyone who has read it has committed suicide, and the Doctor, Nardole, and Bill are brought to the Vatican to investigate. While there, Bill and Nardole discover a portal, which leads them to the Pentagon. They find the portals being projected leading all over the world. The Doctor temporarily restores his sight using Time Lord technology, but is ambushed by aliens. Nardole realizes the projectors are not projecting portals, but the whole world. His realization causes him to dematerialize. Bill finds the Doctor, who tells her the world is a simulation, and Veritas contains the proof. Bill then disappears due to the alien's intervention, the Doctor realizing this is a test to see if they can conquer the Earth. However, the simulation is too exact, as his sonic sunglasses still work perfectly, and the virtual Doctor sends his information to the real one to warn of the coming invasion.
271
7 "The Pyramid at the End of the World" Daniel Nettheim Peter Harness and Steven Moffat 27 May 2017 (2017-05-27) 5.79 82
The Doctor is called in by the Secretary-General of the U.N. after a pyramid mysteriously appears on the strategic border of the Russian, Chinese and U.S. armies. It's revealed the Monks are responsible for the pyramid and that they have forseen a disaster through their simulations, offering an opportunity to save humanity if they consent to their rule. Elsewhere in a biochemical lab, a scientist accidentally misreads the levels of chemicals in an experiment releasing deadly biochemical bacteria. The Secretary-General offers his consent, but is killed when he is viewed to be acting out of fear. The Doctor surmises that the disaster was unrelated to war, but may be biochemical. After the Doctor and Nardole locate the lab, Nardole collapses following exposure to the bacteria whilst waiting in the TARDIS. The Doctor with the assistance of Erica, a lab worker, surmises the only way to stop it would be to destroy the lab. He becomes stuck on the side of a manual lock however, due to his blindness. Bill makes a deal with the Monks to restore the Doctor's sight despite his protests. He manages to escape but at the expense of handing the planet over to the Monks.
272

Nardole locates Bill, and they search for the Doctor. They locate him, but he is cooperating with the Monks. Bill shoots him and it appears he is regenerating, but it is all a trick to see whether Bill has been fooled by the Monks. At the university, the Doctor speaks to Missy, who reveals Bill has to die to break the Monk's influence on Earth. The Doctor hopes there is another solution, therefore they infiltrate the Monk's pyramid in London. The Doctor attempts to break the link but fails. Bill prepares to sacrifice herself, however the Monk's images are replaced with those of Bill's mother, which represents hope. Due to their actions, the Monks leave and humanity recall none of the events. Back in the Vault, Missy expresses remorse at those she has murdered.

Captain Catchlove says they rescued Friday from his crashed spaceship, and Friday allowed the soldiers to use his technology to mine Mars. They unearth the tomb of the Ice Empress Iraxxa; one guard revives her. Friday tells Iraxxa that the Mars' surface is uninhabitable. She decides to relent, but a soldier fires his rifle; provoked, she returns fire. Iraxxa starts reviving Ice Warriors. The Doctor threatens to use the mining device to bury them all. Catchlove holds Iraxxa at knifepoint and attempts to force her to help him pilot a spaceship. Godsacre kills Catchlove. Iraxxa calls off the attack in exchange for Godsacre pledging himself to her. The Doctor contacts Alpha Centauri to assist the Ice Warriors, and also leave the message for NASA. Nardole re-appears with the TARDIS with Missy, who expresses concern about the Doctor.

10 "The Eaters of Light" Charles Palmer Rona Munro 17 June 2017 (2017-06-17) 4.73 81
The Doctor and Bill, disagreeing about the fate of the Ninth Legion of the Imperial Roman army, travel in the TARDIS to the 2nd century in Scotland. Bill goes her own way, while the Doctor and Nardole look for their bodies. Bill encounters the Legion's soldiers hiding. The soldiers are hiding from a creature drawn to any light source, killing those in its path. Meanwhile, the Doctor and Nardole discover the corpses of the remaining Legion. They later come across a Pict tribe guarding a cairn. The Doctor enters the cairn, passing into an interdimensional portal. The Pict explains that a warrior goes through the cairn to defeat an "Eater of Light", but with the invading Roman army, she allowed one to escape to fight them. Bill leads the surviving legion away from the creature and end up reuniting with the Doctor and Nardole. The Doctor works out a plan to lure the Eater back to the portal during daylight, but it requires someone inside preventing the creature's escape. Once the creature is trapped, The Pict and the Ninth Legion sacrifice themselves to stop the creatures. Back in the TARDIS, Missy awaits their return, to the surprise of Bill and Nardole. The Doctor tells Missy that he has hope she will turn good.

11 "World Enough and Time" Rachel Talalay Steven Moffat 24 June 2017 (2017-06-24) 5.00 85
In a snowspace, the Doctor stumbles from the TARDIS and begins regenerating. Earlier, the Doctor proposed to test Missy by having her answer a distress call. They arrive via TARDIS on a colony ship reversing away from a black hole. They are held at gunpoint by Jorj, who demands to know which of them is human, and Jorj shoots Bill. The Doctor, Missy, and Nardole learn that a few days ago, some of the crew had gone down to the ship's bowels but never returned. Jorj claims the ship is otherwise empty, but the Doctor shows there's thousands of humans, descendants of the crew: due to time dilation, time moves much faster at the ship's bowels. Bill awakens in a hospital, having been fitted with a replacement heart. Razor, the hospital caretaker, explains that some of the patients are waiting to be "upgraded" to escape the ship's polluted air. Years later, they see footage of the Doctor coming down the lift, having only been a few minutes for him. The Doctor, Nardole and Missy arrive to determine the origin of the colony ship: Mondas. Razor approaches Missy and reveals himself to be her previous incarnation, formerly known as the Master. The Doctor and Nardole find a Cyberman who reveals itself as Bill.

12 "The Doctor Falls" Rachel Talalay Steven Moffat 1 July 2017 (2017-07-01) 5.29 83
Escaping to the next floor of the ship, the Doctor tries to comfort Bill, who has retained her humanity, though this is wearing thin. This floor of the ship is a simulated countryside, where the group helps defend the villagers from the oncoming Cybermen. Knowing they are overwhelmed, the Doctor attempts to convince Missy and the Master to help him. They refuse, though Missy seems conflicted. Hoping to save the villagers, the Doctor tells Nardole to take them to another floor while he sacrifices himself. Bill opts to stay with the Doctor, and Nardole says goodbye, taking the villagers to safety. Elsewhere, before escaping to their TARDIS, Missy betrays the Master to help the Doctor by stabbing him in the back, triggering the regeneration process. He shoots her in return, killing her. The Doctor fights off the Cybermen, but is severely wounded in the process. He proceeds to blow up the whole floor, killing himself. Bill survives, with Heather appearing before her. They kiss, and Heather reveals she has changed Bill into her species so she could live on. The two take the Doctor's body back to his TARDIS, with Bill using her new powers to bring him back to life before she and Heather leave to see the universe together. The Doctor awakens as the regeneration process begins. He refuses, attempting to stop it, and exits the TARDIS into a snowy landscape, where he is greeted by the First Doctor.

Casting[edit]

Peter Capaldi reprised his role as the Twelfth Doctor in his third and final series; he will leave after the 2017 Christmas special,[7] while Pearl Mackie portrays the newest companion Bill Potts, after the departure of Jenna Coleman. To avoid leaks while casting the new companion, the production team used the word "Mean Town", an anagram of "Ten Woman"; this is a reference to the fact that Bill is the companion of the tenth series, and was revealed by the casting director Andy Pryor to Radio Times.[8][9][10] Mackie made her first appearance in the first episode of the tenth series,[11][12] and portrays the first openly gay companion.[13] Matt Lucas returned in his role as Nardole, as seen in the 2015 and 2016 Christmas specials "The Husbands of River Song" and "The Return of Doctor Mysterio", in a regular role that started from the first episode of the series,[14][15][16][17] but would not appear in every episode.[18]
In June 2016, it was announced that Stephanie Hyam would be joining the tenth series.[19] In July 2016, actors Mina Anwar, Ralf Little, and Kaizer Akhtar had been added to the cast and portrayed Goodthing, Steadfast, and Praiseworthy respectively in the second episode.[20][21] On 16 August 2016, it was announced that David Suchet, famous for his role in Agatha Christie's Poirot, would appear as a character known as "The Landlord" in the fourth episode, "Knock Knock".[17] Tate Pitchie-Cooper portrayed a child version of The Landlord.[22] Fady Elsayed, who stars in the Doctor Who spin-off Class, was originally set to guest star in an episode of Doctor Who.[23]
In October 2016, it was announced that Justin Chatwin was set to appear as a superhero in the 2016 Christmas special "The Return of Doctor Mysterio".[24][25] He was joined by Charity Wakefield, Adetomiwa Edun, Aleksandar Jovanovic and Logan Hoffman.[26] On 16 November 2016 the BBC announced the cast for the fifth episode, which included Kieran Bew, Peter Caulfield, Mimi Ndiweni and Katie Brayben, with Justin Salinger portraying "Tasker",[27] while Rebecca Benson, Daniel Kerr, Juwon Adedokun, Brian Vernel, Ben Hunter, Aaron Phagura, Sam Adewunmi and Billy Matthews were announced to be appearing in the tenth episode.[28]
On 14 October 2016, Michelle Gomez announced that she would reprise her role of Missy in the series,[29] and in May 2017, she further stated that it would be her last series in the role.[30] On 30 January 2017, Capaldi confirmed that the tenth series would be his last.[7] On 6 April 2017, the BBC announced that John Simm would be returning in his role as the Master alongside Gomez.[31] David Bradley made a cameo appearance as the First Doctor at the end of the series finale, "The Doctor Falls", which will lead into the 2017 Christmas special, "Twice Upon a Time".[32] In addition to Bradley's appearance, "Twice Upon a Time" will feature Mark Gatiss as a captain from World War I, the return of Mackie as Bill Potts,[33] and the first appearance of the Thirteenth Doctor portrayed by Jodie Whittaker.[34]
Production[edit]
Writing and development[edit]
In July 2015, the annual review for BBC Worldwide indicated that it had invested in a tenth series of the programme.[35] It was announced in January 2016 that Series 10 would be Steven Moffat's final series as showrunner, after which he will be replaced in the role by Chris Chibnall in 2018.[36]
In May 2016, Steven Moffat stated in the 500th issue of Doctor Who Magazine that he would be writing the first and last three episodes of the series.[6] Furthermore, he stated that the series would consist mostly of single-part stories so that the new companion, Bill Potts, could have more stories to explore her character, though two-parters would still be present in the series.[37] Moffat also wrote the 2017 Christmas special, after the tenth series has concluded.[38]
Lawrence Gough directed the first two episodes of the tenth series, while Frank Cottrell-Boyce wrote the series' second episode, having previously written "In the Forest of the Night" for the eighth series.[19] Sarah Dollard, who wrote "Face the Raven" for the ninth series also returns for an episode, as does playwright Mike Bartlett for an episode in the same production block as Dollard's.[19] Matt Lucas revealed that Jamie Mathieson was set to write the fifth episode for the series, having previously written "Mummy on the Orient Express" and "Flatline" and having co-written "The Girl Who Died".[39] Daniel Nettheim directed two episodes for the series, written by Steven Moffat and Peter Harness, after having previously directed the two-parter "The Zygon Invasion" / "The Zygon Inversion" in the ninth series.[40]
In June 2016, Mark Gatiss stated he would be writing an episode for the series; later identified as the ninth episode, a change to Moffat's previous announcement that he would be writing for that particular episode.[41][42] In 2015, Gatiss had indicated that he might write a sequel for the ninth series episode "Sleep No More"; however, this was not the basis for Gatiss' episode for the tenth series.[43][44] Instead, the episode featured the return of the Ice Warriors, a race known for their appearances in the eras of the Second Doctor and Third Doctor, and in the 2013 episode "Cold War," also written by Gatiss.[45]
Moffat announced in October 2016 that a writer who had previously written for the original classic series would be returning to write an episode,[46] later confirmed as Rona Munro, who previously wrote Survival, the final serial of both Season 26 and the original classic series. Munro is the writer for the tenth episode of the series, titled "The Eaters of Light".[47][48] Toby Whithouse wrote the eighth episode.[49]
On 6 March 2017, it was announced the original Mondasian Cybermen from The Tenth Planet would be returning for the finale of the tenth series.[50]
Filming[edit]
The read-through for the first production block of the tenth series took place on 14 June 2016.[51] Filming began on 20 June 2016.[19][52] The second episode was filmed in Valencia, Spain.[53] Shooting for the first block concluded on 28 July 2016.[54] The read-through for the second block took place on 18 July 2016, and filming began on 1 August 2016, beginning with the third episode.[55][56] Production on the 2016 Christmas special began on 5 September 2016 and wrapped on 30 September 2016.[57][58] The read-through for "Oxygen" took place on 12 October 2016. Shooting on the fourth block began on 17 October and ended on 18 November 2016.[59] Filming for the fifth block began on 23 November 2016, paused in December for a break over the holidays, and resumed on 3 January 2017[60][61] and concluding on 17 January 2017.[62] The sixth block began filming concurrently[41] on 16 January 2017, before concluding on 22 February 2017.[63] On 6 March 2017 the BBC stated that the work on the final two episodes of the series had begun, with Rachel Talalay returning to direct her third consecutive series finale.[64]
Filming for the series was concluded on 7 April 2017.[65] Production for the 2017 Christmas special started on 12 June 2017, and concluded on 10 July 2017.[66][67][68]
Filming for the spin-off series Class ran from April to September 2016, beginning before the filming for the tenth series of Doctor Who started.[69][70] Peter Capaldi took part in the filming of Class, and appeared in the opening episode of the spin-off series.[71]

Promotion[edit]
A preview scene was filmed in April 2016 as part of a promotional clip shown on 23 April 2016 on BBC One, during the semi-final half-time of the 2015–16 FA Cup. It introduced the Doctor and his new companion, Bill, being faced with Daleks.[74] However, Moffat has stated that this scene may not be introduced into the series itself.[11] Capaldi, Mackie, Lucas and Moffat promoted the series at New York Comic Con in October 2016.[75]
The first trailer for the series was premiered at the end of the 2016 Christmas special, "The Return of Doctor Mysterio".[76] A second teaser trailer was released on 25 February 2017.[77] On 13 March 2017 the BBC released new promotional image of Capaldi, Mackie and Lucas, as well as releasing the title for the premiere.[78] The full trailer for the series was premiered later the same day on BBC One, during the quarter-final half-time of the 2016–17 FA Cup,[79] along with promotional images from the first episode.[80]
Leading up to the launch of the series, five teaser trailers aired online.[81][82][83][84][85] On 31 March 2017 BBC America released the trailer for Doctor Who and the Class.[86] The same day, an interview with Mackie was shown on BBC News, containing clips from the first episode.[13] Another trailer for the series premiered on 3 April 2017.[87] On 9 April 2017 Capaldi, Mackie, Moffat and Minchin attended a panel at the BFI & Radio Times TV Festival, featuring a sneak preview of clips from the upcoming series.[88]
Broadcast and reception[edit]
Critical reception[edit]
Doctor Who's tenth series has received positive reviews. Series 10 holds a 97% score on online review aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes with an average score of 3.88.[89] Writing for the Radio Times halfway through the series' run, Huw Fullerton calls it "a return to form for the sci-fi series after a much-needed rest year, with the format, actors and writers all feeling fresher than during their last outing".[90] Reaction to individual episodes have also been positive, with scores on the site ranging from 85% to 100% to date; six episodes of the series hold a perfect score, which include the final four of the series, after no episode reached this score in the previous series.[89] Specifically, episodes such as "Oxygen" and "Extremis" received positive reception, with critics saying that the former was a "great, thought-provoking episode",[91] whilst the latter was labelled as a unique and ambitious episode, and that "Doctor Who doesn't get better than this".[92]
The series also introduced Pearl Mackie as Bill Potts, the Doctor's newest companion; Mackie has received consistently favorable comments, noting how she was "bringing an energy distinct from any previous new series companion", describing Bill as "a wonderful change of pace", and how her acting was "consistently honest, raw at times, and never, ever whimsy", with certain scenes being "guttural" and "heart-wrenching".[93][94][95] Controversial topics, such as racism and capitalism, were covered during episodes in the series, and were also met with positive reactions.[96][97][98]

List of claimed first novels in English
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article needs additional citations for verification. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The following works of literature have each been claimed as the first novel in English.
Thomas Malory, Le Morte d'Arthur, (written c. 1470, published 1485)
William Baldwin, Beware the Cat, (written 1553, published 1570, 1584)[1]
John Lyly, Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit (1578) and Euphues and his England (1580) [2]
Philip Sidney, The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia (1581)
Margaret Cavendish, The Blazing World (1666)
John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress (1678)[3]
Aphra Behn, Oroonoko (1688)[4]
Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe (1719)[5]
Daniel Defoe, Moll Flanders (1722)
Samuel Richardson, Pamela, or Virtue Rewarded (1740)[6]
The following are some other early long works of prose fiction in English:
William Caxton's 1483 translation of Geoffroy de la Tour Landry, The Book of the Knight of the Tower (originally in French)
Thomas Nashe, The Unfortunate Traveller, or The Life of Jack Wilton (1594)
Jonathan Swift, A Tale of a Tub (1704)
Daniel Defoe, The Consolidator (1705)
Jonathan Swift, Gulliver's Travels (1726)
There are multiple candidates for first novel in English partly because of ignorance of earlier works, but largely because the term novel can be defined so as to exclude earlier candidates:
Some critics require a novel to be wholly original and so exclude retellings like Le Morte d'Arthur.
Most critics distinguish between an anthology of stories with different protagonists, even if joined by common themes and milieus, and the novel (which forms a connected narrative), and so also exclude Le Morte d'Arthur.
Some critics distinguish between the romance (which has fantastic elements) and the novel (which is wholly realistic) and so yet again exclude Le Morte d'Arthur.
Some critics distinguish between the allegory (in which characters and events have political, religious or other meanings) and the novel (in which characters and events stand only for themselves) and so exclude The Pilgrim's Progress and A Tale of a Tub.
Some critics require a novel to have a certain length, and so exclude Oroonoko, defining it instead as a novella.
Some critics distinguish between the picaresque (which has a loosely connected sequence of episodes) and the novel (which has unity of structure) and so exclude The Unfortunate Traveller.
Due to the influence of Ian Watt's seminal study in literary sociology, The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding (1957), Watt's candidate, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719), gained wide acceptance.
