Descrição: Furthermore, Waldman's psychoanalytic framework pushes her toward biographical readings of texts that limit social and historical understandings of the Rossettis' themes, to say nothing of their aesthetic concerns. Redefining a Christian process (in which spiritual desires replace worldly ones) in Lacanian terms, Waldman writes, "This . . . process . . . is consistent with Lacan's view that in accepting the castration of one's drives, one finds ultimate jouissance 'on the inverted ladder of the Law of desire'" (21).
