Publisher Description:

Trauma has become a catchword of our time and a central category in contemporary theory and criticism. In this illuminating and accessible volume, Lucy Bond and Stef Craps:

  • provide an account of the history of the concept of trauma from the late nineteenth century to the present day

  • examine debates around the term in their historical and cultural contexts

  • trace the origins and growth of literary trauma theory

  • introduce the reader to key thinkers in the field

  • explore important issues and tensions in the study of trauma as a cultural phenomenon

  • outline and assess recent critiques and revisions of cultural trauma research

Trauma is an essential guide to a rich and vibrant area of literary and cultural inquiry.
