Burdens of Intimacy Psychoanalysis and Victorian Masculinity

"Original, striking and well documented, Lane's readings of writers who try to express the pleasures and anguish of sexual longing will be welcomed by nineteenth-century literary scholars and psychoanalytic theorists alike. Claiming that psychoanalytic theory is more historically and interpretatively subtle than historicism, Lane puts the Victorians to new use in its defence, rejecting the idea that individuals are ultimately imprints of culture and society."Lane, Christopher is the author of 'Burdens of Intimacy Psychoanalysis and Victorian Masculinity' with ISBN 9780226468600 and ISBN 0226468607.
