Focusing on father-daughter incest narratives over the past century, this interdisciplinary study emphasizes literature's role in portraying not just isolated traumatic events but also chronic and complex traumas. It challenges previous theories by advocating for a deeper understanding of how these narratives reflect cumulative experiences, thereby expanding the discourse on trauma representation in literature.
