In these works, the Gothic functions both as an expression of societal violence at the turn of the\u003csup\u003e \u003c\/sup\u003etwenty-first century and as a response to the related crisis of representation brought about by the contemporary individual's highly mediated and spectatorial relationship to this violence. By locating these six novels within the Gothic tradition, this work argues that each text, to borrow a term from Jacques Derrida, \"participates\" in the Gothic in ways that both uphold the paradigm of \"unspeakability\" that has come to dominate much trauma fiction, as well as push its boundaries to complicate how we think of the ethical relationship between witnessing and writing trauma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ashlee Joyce\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 303026727X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030267278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.56d","brand":"Ashlee Joyce","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089059066111,"sku":"9783030267278","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_80b0b05a-5a7a-45ec-ad88-5a911dfa5930.jpg?v=1769107969","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gothic-in-contemporary-british-ashlee-joyce-9783030267278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
