This book produces an original argument about the emergence of
'trauma' in the nineteenth-century through new readings of Dickens,
Emily and Charlotte Bronte, Collins, Gaskell and Elliot. Madeleine
Wood argues that the mid-Victorian novels present their
protagonists in a state of damage, provoked and defined by the
conditions of the mid-century family: the cross-generational
relationship is presented as formative and traumatising. By
presenting family relationships as decisive for our psychological
state as well as our social identity, the Victorian authors pushed
beyond the contemporary scientific models available to them.
Madeleine Wood analyses the literary and historical conditions of
the mid-century period that led to this new literary emphasis, and
which paved the way for the emergence of psychoanalysis in Vienna
at the fin de siecle. Analysing a series of theoretical texts,
Madeleine Wood shows that psychoanalysis shares the mid-Victorian
concern with the unequal relationship between adult and child,
focusing her reading through Freud's early writings and Jean
Laplanche's 'general theory of seduction'.
