-"It is ironic that Cervantes's ''[[Don Quixote]]'' is described as the [[first novel]] (an extended work of prose fiction, written in "[[vulgar Latin]]", i.e. the people's language), the first [[modern novel]] (and the first [[psychological novel]]) due to its focus on the psychological evolution of a single character (an [[antihero]]) as well as the first [[Postmodern literature|postmodern novel]] (due of its use of [[Self-reference |self-reflexivity]] in the second volume)." --Sholem Stein+

-"Among [[modern novel]]ists who deal with the subject of [[perversion|sexual perversion]] in French are most pre-eminently; [[Catulle Mendès]], [[Joséphin Péladan|Peladan]], [[Camille Lemonnier|Lemonnier]], [[Jean-Louis Dubut de Laforest|Dubut de la Forest]] (" [[L'Homme de joie]]"), [[Joris-Karl Huysmans|Huysmans]] ("[[Là-bas (novel)|La bas]]"), [[Émile Zola|Zola]]." --''[[Psychopathia Sexualis]]''+

-The title '''first modern novel''' has generally been attributed to a series of [[picaresque]] [[novels]], most famously ''[[Don Quixote]]'' (1605) by Cervantes.+
- +
-Later candidates to the title "modern novel" include ''[[Pamela]]'' (1740) by Richardson, ''[[Pride and Prejudice]]'' (1813) by [[Jane Austen]], ''[[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 characters, these novels are also called the first [[psychological novel]]s.+
