A Psychoanalytic Reading of Christina Rossetti’s “The Lost Titian”

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.
