Death and the Mother from Dickens to Freud: Victorian Fiction and the Anxiety of Origins - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Dever, Carolyn (Vanderbilt University, Tennessee)
Carolyn Dever discusses the apparent paradox that, while Victorian culture idealized the figure of the mother, many popular novels of the period feature mothers who are dead or absent. She goes on to consider the relationship of the dead mother to Victorian theories of origin and Freudian psychoanalysis.
