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. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 21st century|2fast 648 7 2000 - 2099|2fast 650 0 American fiction|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85004317|y21st century|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2002012478|xHistory and criticism.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001187 650 0 Psychology in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85108489 650 0 Psychic trauma in literature.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh95007877 650 7 American fiction.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 807048 650 7 Psychology in literature.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1081559 650 7 Psychic trauma in literature.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1081229 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGibbs, Alan, 1968- author.|tContemporary American trauma narratives|z9780748641147 |w(OCoLC)885281353 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=830678|zOnline eBook.
