THE BROKEN MIRROR:
A Freudian Slip into a Hellenistic Victorian Gynoculture
to give you an example one of Rackham's illustrations is analysed thus:
"The island’s amniotic moat is roped off with what appears to be a medieval chastity belt, and even the ducks respect this superego barricade."
and I just love this part:
"This theme or neurosis of weak-willed effete men present in Imperialist Victorians carries into the present day in Nick Park’s Wallace and Gromit claymation series, where Wallace, an eccentric English inventor, refuses to marry and needs constant rescue by his faithful dog, Gromit. In all these works, the lower classes, reflected by a manservant (or a dog), need to save England from its pathetic patriarchal upper classes, to inject a new vitality in the gene pool. "
enjoy!
