A key term in psychoanalytic approaches to literary study, trauma theory represents a critical approach that enables new modes of reading and of listening.
It is a leading concept of our time, applicable to individuals, cultures, and nations.
This book traces how trauma theory has come to constitute a discrete but influential approach within literary criticism in recent decades.
It offers an overview of the genesis and growth of literary trauma theory, recording the evolution of the concept of trauma in relation to literary studies.
In twenty-one essays, covering the origins, development, and applications of trauma in literary studies, Trauma and Literature addresses the relevance and impact this concept has in the field.
