This is the first edited collection of essays which focuses on the
incest taboo and its literary and cultural presentation from the
1950s to the present day. It considers a number of key authors and
artists, rather than a single author from this period. The
collection exposes the wide use of incest and sexual trauma, and
the frequency this appears within contemporary literature and
related arts. Incest in contemporary literature discusses the
impact of this change in attitudes on literature and literary
adaptations in the latter half of the twentieth century, and early
years of the twenty-first century. Although primarily concerned
with fiction, the collection includes work on television and film.
Authors discussed include Iain Banks, A.S. Byatt, Angela Carter,
Simone de Beauvoir, Ted Hughes, Doris Lessing, Ian McEwan Iris
Murdoch, Vladimir Nabokov, Andrea Newman and Pier Pasolini and
Sylvia Plath. -- .
