E-grāmata: Effective Protagonist in the Nineteenth-Century British Novel: Scott, Bronte, Eliot, Wilde

'In unusually strong, jargon-free prose, Dawson offers an innovative model for psychological approaches to literary interpretation, a new look at gender-based criticism, and startlingly original readings of four canonical British novels.' George P. Landow, Professor of English and Art History, Brown University 'In this provocative book, Dawson offers exciting new readings of four nineteenth-century British novels... Dawson's careful employment of Jungian analysis yields fascinating new interpretations of these works and encourages readers to use similar strategies in examining the psychological and structural complexities of the novel.' ELT 'The Effective Protagonist is a very impressive work of post-Jungian literary criticism. It deserves to be adopted as a key model for the development of the Jungian treatment of literature. Moreover, Dawson's pioneering work ought to be recognised by the whole discipline of literary studies as a major advance in the understanding of literary form. This book is an important addition to post-Jungian studies and an 'effective' argument for the greater inclusion of Jung in the humanities.' Harvest, International Journal for Jungian Studies
