"Kemp’s study of the mind in the modern European novel is a skilful and elegant book which will be required reading for anyone interested not only in how literature explores inner worlds, but in what these explorations tell us about conceptions of the mind more generally. The book provides a sharply intelligent account of competing theories yet is not theory-driven, preferring instead to consider how ideas about consciousness at a given moment in history stack up against the complexities of inner worlds as writers portray them." -- Professor Shirley Jordan, Queen Mary University of London
