Arthur Washburn Brown applies a Freudian interpretive lens to uncover the latent erotic and libidinal meanings embedded in Dickens' famously vivid material world, from furniture and clothing to food and architectural spaces. The tone is scholarly yet provocative, challenging conventional Victorian-era readings of Dickens as a moralistic, sentimental author by illustrating how repressed sexuality permeates his prose at the level of object and image. Brown's analysis draws on close textual readings across multiple Dickens novels, making a sustained case that the author's celebrated descriptive richness is inseparable from a complex, coded sexual imagination. This study will appeal to readers with an interest in psychoanalytic literary theory, Victorian literature, and the cultural history of sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839391510747,"sku":"2026770000074-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/80feae7d-7821-4016-b7a0-d7592a889363.png?v=1780561461","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770000074-secondhand-sexual-analysis-of-dickens-props","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
