Through an analysis of the work of Dickens, Collins, Eliot, Darwin and Woolf, Carolyn Dever discusses this apparent paradox. She shows how the idealized dead mother is fundamental to the Victorians' idea of origins, and later becomes the central figure of Freudian psychoanalysis. Dever demonstrates that Victorian literature and psychoanalysis have much to teach us about each other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941748670752,"sku":"NEW0521032555","price":78.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/death-and-the-mother-from-dickens-to-freud-victorian-fiction-and-the-anxiety-of-origins-cambridge-studies-in-nineteenth-century-literature-and-culture-series-number-17-0521032555","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
