Bernard J. Paris is professor emeritus of English at the University of Florida. His fields of interest include Victorian and comparative fiction and the psychological study of literature. He is author of numerous books, including Rereading George Eliot, Heaven and Its Discontents: Milton’s Characters in Paradise Lost, Bargains with Fate: Psychological Crises and Conflicts in Shakespeare and His Plays, and A General Drama of Pain: Character and Fate in Hardy’s Major Novels.
". . . a powerful new study of Shakespeare's four great tragedies and of the man himself. These are original and strong readings in which a picture of Shakespeare's personality emerges that is clear and convincing."
—Norman Holland, University of Florida
"Paris unashamedly and insightfully celebrates Shakespeare's capacity for a mimetic, psychologically rich and complex representation of character . . . . Furthermore, he uses his investigations of the plays to speculate about Shakespeare the author and his psychological development . . . . he addresses his book primarily to 'students and lovers of Shakespeare,' to . . . those 'who are interested in literature as a source of psychological insight,' even 'self-understanding and growth.' Indeed, anyone who counts himself or herself in one of these categories will be enlightened—and delighted—by this book."
—Margret Schaefer, Psychoanalytic Books, Vol. 5
" . . . a delight to read, both for concentrating on the psychology of the major characters—an astonishingly underrepresented aspect of modern Shakespeare studies—and for the many brilliant and altogether convincing points Paris has to make."
—Paul Bertram, Rutgers University
