Book Description
Holbrook (English, Cambridge U.) explains how Dickens dealt with the Victorian English problem of merging the ideal and the libidinous woman, by delighting in father-daughter and other non- sexual relationships between genders; and how his dread of sexual intercourse deformed his dealings with all his female characters.
