Shock, Memory and the Unconscious in Victorian Fiction - Cambridge Studies in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture
Matus, Jill L. (University of Toronto)
In this text, Jill Matus goes beyond existing studies of the history of trauma to argue that both Victorian psychology and the novel were significant antecedents of twentieth-century trauma theory. In particular, the Victorian novel was instrumental in shaping the idea of the haunted, possessed and traumatized subject.
