Dostoyevsky was a master of the genre but there were many others at the time, e.g. Flaubert (Madame Bovary, 1857). Plus, we can hardly stick the label pioneer/inventor of psychological novel on either James or Dostoyevsky when there are works such as Madame de La Fayette's La Princesse de Clèves (1678).

Madame Bovary immediately sprung to mind as well. I find that there are plenty of similarities regarding the psychological depiction and psychological narrative of the characters between Madame Bovary and Portrait of a Lady.
