Sex and longing in Old Vienna

Article Abstract:

An analysis of the lifestyle of Austrian author Arthur Schnitzler reveals much of what influenced his sexually-charged works. Schnitzler's main theme in his works was sexual love and its psychology. He had many sexual adventures throughout his life, and psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud expressed his admiration for Schnitzler for obtaining insight he could only determine after much research. Schnitzler's works are regarded as above average quality.

The 'legless angel' of 'David Copperfield': there's more to her than Victorian piety

Article Abstract:

The character of Agnes Wickfield in 'David Copperfield' is often derided by critics and feminists for her passivity and Victorian values. However, her decision to wait for marriage was not a sign of prudery, but rather a mature choice to control her own fate.
