This book highlights the intergenerational ripples of cultural and environmental traumas on girls' development, and examines depictions of interpersonal, vicarious, and transgenerational forms of trauma. By examining a variety of literary genres (life writing, short storytelling, verbal and visual poetry, fictional diaries and epistolary novels, as well as the female Bildungsromane) the author charts how genre is both shaped and is shaped by trauma-telling practices and how readers can develop a culturally sensitive approach to trauma narratives to avoid retraumatizing survivors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMarine Berthiot \u003c\/b\u003eis MSCA Postdoctoral Researcher in English Studies at the University of Galway, Ireland.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e04 February 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666981711\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52227939500172,"sku":"9781666981711","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_a1cb9ea5-f02c-4f84-9682-8d2af752853f.jpg?v=1786502549","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781666981711","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
