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\n\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.
