Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys and the aesthetics of trauma[electronic resource] /Aesthetics of traumaPatricia Moran. - New York ;Palgrave Macmillan,2007. - viii, 217 p.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [191]-208) and index.

Experiences of the Body: Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, and the Aesthetics of Damage * Cock-a-doodle-dum: Desmond MacCarthy, Sexology, and the Writing of A Room of One's Own * The Flaw in the Centre: Writing as Hymenal Rupture in Virginia Woolf's Work * Gunpowder Plots: Sexuality and Censorship in Woolf's Later Works * When the pervert meets the hysteric: Jean Rhys's Black Exercise Book * "A doormat in a world of boots": Rhys and the Masochistic Aesthetic * Poisoned at the Source: Sexuality and Female Modernism.

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 inwhich 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.
