Helen Hayward, Never marry a girl with a dead father : women's troubled relationships in realist novels

Freud's "discovery" of hysteria was both anticipated by, and grounded in, 19th-century realist fiction. Here, the author reveals how the dark continent that Freud called femininity was brought to life by these realist novelists. The hysterical character, she argues, conceives of every relationship as tragic, imaginatively doomed - hence the warning which forms the title of this book.
