Later candidates to the title "modern novel" include Pamela (1740) by Richardson, The Red and the Black (1831) by Stendhal and Madame Bovary (1857) by Gustave Flaubert. Because of the attention given in these novels to the psychological development of the main characters, these novels are also called the first psychological novels.
