This book examines the intersection of trauma and the Gothic in six
contemporary British novels: Martin Amis's London Fields, Margaret
Drabble's The Gates of Ivory, Ian McEwan's Atonement, Pat Barker's
Regeneration and Double Vision, and Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me
Go. In these works, the Gothic functions both as an expression of
societal violence at the turn of the twenty-first century and as a
response to the related crisis of representation brought about by
the contemporary individual's highly mediated and spectatorial
relationship to this violence. By locating these six novels within
the Gothic tradition, this work argues that each text, to borrow a
term from Jacques Derrida, "participates" in the Gothic in ways
that both uphold the paradigm of "unspeakability" that has come to
dominate much trauma fiction, as well as push its boundaries to
complicate how we think of the ethical relationship between
witnessing and writing trauma.
