Paris explores how personal needs and changes in his own psychology have affected his responses to George Eliot over the years. Having lost his earlier enthusiasm for her "Religion of Humanity," he now appreciates the psychological intuitions that are embodied in her brilliant portraits of characters and relationships. Concentrating on Eliot's most impressive psychological novels, Middlemarch and Daniel Deronda, Paris focuses on her detailed portrayals of major characters in an effort to recover her intuitions and appreciate her mimetic achievement. He argues that although she intended for her characters to provide confirmation of her views, she was instead led to deeper, more enduring truths, although she did not consciously comprehend the discoveries she had made. Like her characters, Paris argues, these truths must be disengaged from her rhetoric in order to be perceived. 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature$zEngland$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPsychological fiction, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPsychology in literature 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature$xHistory 615 0$aPsychological fiction, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPsychology in literature. 676 $a823/.8 700 $aParis$b Bernard J$01122191 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821041503321 996 $aRereading George Eliot$94103283 997 $aUNINA
