1900 Pall Mall Gaz. 13 Jan. 3 The English is novelese, when it does not degenerate into sheer bad grammar.

1959 Times Lit. Suppl. 27 Mar. 173/4 The book never loses what might be called the ‘novelese of imminence’, from the first sentence to the end; the first-person narrator is dog-eared with clichés of ‘perception’ and of ‘sensibility’.
