Literary trauma studies is a rapidly developing field which
examines how literature deals with the personal and cultural
aspects of trauma and engages with such historical and current
phenomena as the Holocaust and other genocides, 9/11, climate
catastrophe or the still unsettled legacy of colonialism. The
Routledge Companion to Literature and Trauma is a comprehensive
guide to the history and theory of trauma studies, including key
concepts, consideration of critical perspectives and discussion of
future developments. It also explores different genres and media,
such as poetry, life-writing, graphic narratives, photography and
post-apocalyptic fiction, and analyses how literature engages with
particular traumatic situations and events, such as the Holocaust,
the Occupation of France, the Rwandan genocide, Hurricane Katrina
and transgenerational nuclear trauma. Forty essays from top
thinkers in the field demonstrate the range and vitality of trauma
studies as it has been used to further the understanding of
literature and other cultural forms across the world.
