How does it express emotion and how does it imagine the mind? These questions stand at the centre of \u003ci\u003eEros and Psyche\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title begins with Brontë’s early Angrian tales, which introduce the problem that unifies the book: the attempt of Victorian fiction to escape the constraints of the romance mode, while assimilating its energies. There follow readings of \u003ci\u003eThe Pickwick Papers\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eJane Eyre\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBleak House\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMiddlemarch\u003c\/i\u003e, in the light of such problems as confinement and exposure in Brontë, tragic doubt in Dickens, and the image of the moral mind in George Eliot. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57209388597630,"sku":"NW9781138779228","price":135.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781138779228.jpg?v=1778598590","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/eros-psyche-routledge-revivals","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
