Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, and the Aesthetics of Trauma

Viac o knihe

Focusing on modernism and female sexuality, this study examines the works of two prominent women modernists who grappled with cultural and personal histories that contributed to a diminished view of female sexuality. It delves into how their traumatic childhood sexual experiences shaped their understanding of female corporeality and influenced their fiction-writing, offering insights into the interplay between trauma, identity, and artistic expression.
