Crossword Genius

Unprecedented work of fiction (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

novel

I believe this is a triple definition!

'unprecedented' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'work' is the second definition.
(type of literary work)

'of' acts as a link.

'fiction' is the third definition.
(I know that novel is a type of fiction)

(Other definitions for novel that I've seen before include "Scoop, say" , "A work of fiction of new kind" , "Romance - new" , "New and strange" , "Book of prose fiction" .)

I've seen this clue in the Best For Puzzles.
