This chapter examines the social, ideological, and linguistic contexts within which the Filipino novel in English takes shape. It first looks at the novel as a literary institution by examining the social conditions of its production, circulation, and reception. It then discusses the ideological tenets underpinning the relationship between the novel and the nation. It also addresses the question of English and its fraught position in the Philippine setting and concludes with a discussion of the potentials and limits of the novel.
