520 8  Alan Gibbs examines the way American writers present the 
       effects of trauma in their work. Trauma has become an 
       important and influential paradigm for reading 
       contemporary American literature. Too often, however, 
       criticism has adopted narrow models of trauma, resulting 
       in increasingly formulaic and clichéd interpretations. 
       This study understands trauma on a wider basis than 
       Freudian psychoanalysis, incorporating theories drawn from
       fields including narratology, in order to analyse devices 
       characteristically employed by writers in order to 
       represent and, often, to mimic the effects of trauma.
