Karen Chase

Eros and Psyche (Routledge Revivals)

The Representation of Personality in Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens, George Eliot

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How does Victorian fiction represent personality? How does it express emotion and how does it imagine the mind? These questions stand at the centre of Eros and Psyche, first published in 1984. In examining how three authors - Charlotte Brontë, Charles Dickens and George Eliot - depict the mind and organise emotion, Chase approaches their works as expressive structures, and analyses their struggle to accommodate rival imperatives in depicting personality: desire and duty, guilt and innocence, love and autonomy.
