A Psychoanalytic Reading of Christina Rossetti’s “The Lost Titian”
[ send me this essay ]
This 5 page report discusses the psychoanalytical aspects of the short story by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) “The Lost Titian” that was published in 1856. It is worth noting that her works’ apparent simplicity often masks a darker and far more intellectual stream of consciousness. From a psychoanalytical perspective it is quite clear that there is much more to the writer and her work which may, in itself, serve as a metaphor for a creative and unique woman of the Victorian age. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

A View of Medieval Life (7 pp)
[ send me this essay ]
Labels in any time period tend to fluctuate -we may call the Middle Ages that period of time from the twelfth century to the fifteenth century. An art historian would label these early, high and late Gothic, but for the sake of discussion we will use "Medieval," to encompass both. A large part of the population at this time was illiterate, but that does not mean that they did not love stories like the rest of us. What has survived from that period are the stories, in the forms of the works of Christine de Pisan (1363 - 1431) and Jean Foissart ( c 1330 - c1404). Yet we will see different pictures of the same society from their point of view as we examine their works. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
