Readings of Trauma, Madness, and the Body (American Literature Readings in the 21st Century)

In Readings of Trauma, Madness, and the Body, Sarah Wood Anderson explores how Modernist fiction narratives by Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, H.D., and Zelda Fitzgerald represent trauma, specifically addressing the conflict between speaking about and repressing traumatic memories, while also considering how authors' understandings of gender influence their depictions. Further, this book considers creativity, sexuality, and the body as sites of conflict in representations of madness.
