psychological novel
A psychological novel, also called psychological realism, is a work of prose fiction which places more than the usual amount of emphasis on interior characterization, and on the motives, circumstances, and internal action which springs from, and develops, external action. The psychological novel is not content to state what happens but goes on to explain the motivation of this action. In this type of writing character and characterization are more important than usual, and they often delve deeper into the mind of a character than novels of other genres. The psychological novel can be called a novel of the "inner man," so to say. In some cases, the stream of consciousness technique, as well as interior monologues, may be employed to better illustrate the inner workings of the human mind at work. Flashbacks may also be featured. While these three textual techniques are also prevalent in literary modernism, there is no deliberate effort to fragment the prose or compel the reader to interpret the text.
==Early examples==
''The Tale of Genji'', written in 11th-century Japan, has often been considered the first psychological novel.〔Jorge Luis Borges, ''The Total Library'': 〕 In the west, the origins of the psychological novel can be traced as far back as Giovanni Boccaccio's 1344 ''Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta''; that is before the term psychology was coined.
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. Madame de La Fayette's ''The Princess of Cleves'', dating back to the 17th century, is also considered an early precursor of the psychological novel. The modern psychological novel originated, according to ''The Encyclopedia of the Novel'', primarily in the works of Nobel laureate Knut Hamsun – in particular, ''Hunger'' (1890), ''Mysteries'' (1892), ''Pan'' (1894) and ''Victoria'' (1898).
