"Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, and the Aesthetics of Trauma" studies
the intersections of modernism, sexuality, and subjectivity in the
work of two leading women modernists. Over the course of her
writing career, each came to confront those aspects of her culture
and her personal history that resulted in a degraded sense of
female sexuality. In particular, both explored the ways in which
traumatic childhood sexual experiences informed their relationship
to female corporeality and fiction writing. Their narratives about
these memories--and the essays and fictions in which they recovered
and worked through them--are all the more remarkable in that they
appeared at a time when Freud's renunciation of the seduction
theory had become the authorizing narrative of psychoanalysis.
