The rise of the middle class created demand for relatable realism, while increased literacy expanded the audience, including more educated women. Growth of print and periodicals made books cheaper, and declining tastes for epics or romance pushed readers toward real-life moral tales. Journalism strengthened factual style, and novels also served didactic goals by teaching manners and virtues.
