description: American scholars of English literature tease out a trauma narrative embodied throughout Woolf's (1882-1941) texts that repeat and reflect her traumatic experiences over a lifetime of literary production. Among the traumas they find are the deaths of her mother, half-sister Stella, and brother Thoby; the mental illness of her half-sister Laura; and sexual abuse by her two half-brothers.
