Book Synopsis
Explores the inner conflicts of some of literature's most famous characters, using Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories to understand the behaviour of these characters as we would the behaviour of real people

Trade Review
"This is literary criticism at its most perceptive. Theory is subservient to a deeply engaged reading of works Professor Paris clearly loves. To read his analysis of Emma Bovary or Hedda Gabler is to gain an enriched insight into characters whom we thought we knew so well." -- Phyllis Grosskurth,author of Byron, The Flawed Angel
