Aesthetic Hysteria is a deconstructive psychoanalytic study of
hysteria, using literary texts to foreground a telling encounter
between two growing discourses within English studies: that of
emotion/affect and trauma studies. It brings together several
academic foci - the history of medicine, aesthetic theory, speech
act theory, feminism, and gender and performance studies. The study
uses its theoretical and philosophical questioning of a cultural
phenomenon to interrogate the politics and ends of theory, and is
timely in addressing similar anxieties dominating contemporary
critical and cultural theory.
