Rev. ed. of: Larousse dictionary of literary characters 1994.
Deals with the characters created by English writers. Characters are called as the "vessels into which the ideas, aspirations, emotions and neuroses of the author and the reader can be poured". They stand as memorable tokens of human character types, or used as vehicles for social satire or commentary on human condition. They may function as conscience to question prejudices, reaffirm one's beliefs, or simply be entertainers.
