Mothering the mother: The Un-being, the maternal and modernist trauma in Virginia Woolf

Vol-6,Issue-6,November - December 2021

Author: Anshula Upadhyay

Keywords: Maternal, Trauma, memory, authorship, textuality, sexuality, gender, Modernism, War.

Abstract: The essay explores the intricacies of how Virginia Woolf rehabilitated the erstwhile masculine inter-war trauma and memory back to the maternal, the source of civilisational guilt and collective advertent amnesia. It unravels a concomitance and convoluted relation between the Maternal trace and Modernist trauma of anonymity. It elucidates the Modernist existential trauma while resuscitating the silenced voice of the maternal forces, both creative and destructive.
