• Encompassing texts about victims, survivors, refugees and their children, this book effectively inserts British women's writing into critical frameworks for thinking about Holocaust writing.Holocaust Studies and Twentieth-Century Women's Writing are growing areas of interest. This book discusses wide range of texts - novels, memoirs, poetry and plays. It dramatizes the impact and haunting memory of Britain's policies and roles as they affected the plight of Jews from Nazi occupation. It also represents important connections between witness literature, the literature of war and British multicultural writing.In its analysis of Anglo-Jewish women writing the Holocaust, this book highlights the necessity of their inclusion in the evolving canon of modern British literature, by showing how these writers complicate theories of trauma and memory by using fantasy and the Gothic as a response to silence.
