Psychological Novel




The origins of the psychological novel can be traced as far back as Giovanni Boccaccio 's 1344 ''La Fiammetta''; that is before the term Psychology was coined.

Another Avant La Lettre example is '' Don Quixote de la Mancha'' by Miguel Cervantes .

The first rise of the psychological novel as a genre is said to have started with the Sentimental Novel of which Samuel Richardson 's '' Pamela '' is a prime example.

In French literature, Stendhal 's '' The Red And The Black '' is often called an early psychological novel.
