narrative prose
Stories in sentences
Narrative prose is writing that tells a story without the formal constraints of verse—novels, short stories, memoirs, and similar forms.
The term distinguishes storytelling in ordinary sentences and paragraphs from poetry or drama: The course covers narrative prose from the nineteenth century.
It emphasizes continuous, flowing text rather than dialogue or lyrical structure.
