| Summary | Annotation The author examines four Victorian novels: Pride and Prejudice, Cranford, Bleak House, and Picture of Dorian Gray. He shows these stories should be seen less as attempts to repress sex and sexuality than as efforts to produce, construct, and control the sexual. The author argues that the sexual was perceived by the Victorians as chaotic, anarchic, and resistant to rational categorization and was seen as a threat to ordered dichotomies such as nature/culture, savage/civilized, and private/public.
