    Annotation:

    This article deals with an analysis of a narrative subgenre in the Victorian England between 1816 and 1840: the �Silver Fork Novel�. They are works that describe the smartness and the bright of older times imaginatively, anticipating the genre of the romantic novel, focusing and portraying the aesthetic that characterized the aristocratic class, instead of focusing on moral issues. Its influence would be maintained in the novels of the middle of the Victorian period, through the 40�s, reaching the 50�s and 60�s, when the novelist would begin to write �anti-silver fork� novels, denouncing the snobbism of the genre. The term �silver fork� was used derogatorily, being coined by William Hazlitt in 1827, in an article published in The Dandy School.
