Father–Daughter Incest in Twentieth-Century American Literature: The Complex Trauma of the Wound and the Voiceless
Christine Grogan
This interdisciplinary study rereads father-daughter incest narratives of the last hundred years to argue for the importance of literature in representing not just circumscribed, singular traumatic events, as Cathy Caruth argued in the late nineties, but for giving voice to chronic and cumulative, or complex, traumatic experiences.
