Answer:
(i)
Many people got worried about the effects of the novel on readers who were
taken away from their real surrounding into an imaginary world where anything
could happen.
(ii) Some of them wrote in newspapers and
magazines, advising people to stay away from the immoral influence of novels.
(iii) Women and children were often singled
out for such advice, they were seen as easily corruptible.
(iv) Some parents kept novels in the lofts
in their houses, out of their children's reach.
(v) Young people often read them in secret.
This passion was not limited only to the youth, even older women who could not

their grand children-a nice reversal of the familiar grandma's
tales!
