Central to Victorian thinking about consciousness and emotion, shock is a concept that challenged earlier ideas about the relationship between mind and body. Although the new materialist psychology of the midnineteenth century made possible the very concept of a wound to the psyche - the recognition, for example, that those who escaped physically unscathed from train crashes or other overwhelming experiences might still have been injured in some significant way - it was Victorian fiction, with its complex explorations of the inner life of the individual and accounts of upheavals in personal identity, that most fully articulated the idea of the haunted, possessed and traumatized subject. This wide ranging book reshapes our understanding of Victorian theories of mind and memory and reveals the relevance of nineteenth century culture to contemporary theories of trauma."--BOOK JACKET. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a English literature $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Psychological fiction, English $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Memory in literature 650 0 $a Subconsciousness in literature 650 0 $a Emotions in literature 650 0 $a Psychic trauma in literature 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in nineteenth-century literature and culture $v 69. 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1004/2009282563-b.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1004/2009282563-d.html 856 41 $3 Table of contents only $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1004/2009282563-t.html 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180111031337.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825052653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4E76A49A6A8B11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
