Explanation:
The terms "Matter of..." refers to a common classification that is used in literature. "Matter of Britain/England" refers to Medieval literature that deals with romances and legends derived from their Anglo-Saxon legacy. For example, these include the stories of King Arthur and those of Robin Hood. "Matter of France" deals mostly with stories of Charlemagne, while "Matter of Antiquity/Rome" deals with stories of that classical period.
An epistolary novel is one written as a series of documents, such as letters. A pastoral is one that celebrates rural life. A biography is a book that tells the story of someone's life. A novel of manners is one that recreates the particular social environment of a cultural group. A Gothic novel is one that deals with the mysterious or macabre, and that uses desolate settings. Finally, a historical novel is one set in a particular time period in the past.
