Best Laid Schemes Reviews

'Keith Oatley has written a brilliant book. He has shown how literary insights into the world of emotions can be married to psychological theory. The result should be enlightening for both cognitive science and literary criticism.' Phil Johnson-Laird
'Best Laid Schemes is an exceptional work which does more than justice to the cognitive science approach to the emotions.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
'Best Laid Schemes ... [is] extremely valuable for everyone interested in emotions ... The scope of [the] book is immense ... [it] makes you wonder whether anyone should write another book on this issue ... [This] original and brilliant book will have a significant impact on every attempt to deal with the emotions.' History of European Ideas
