I’d say one way to identify “conservative” art would be that it doesn’t actively promote a revolutionary ideology. But maybe that casts the net too wide

So very well put, although I would add that conservatism politically is simply working for the best outcomes for as many people as possible by dealing with the way the world really works - by dealing with truth and reality.

If a novel deals with truth and reality and portrays that in a positive light, then I would categorize such a piece of art as conservative.
