Abstract | Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway (1925), is perhaps one of her best known novels to have generated the most critical attention and offers a portrait of life in England after World War I and how society, particularly soldiers continue to be affected by the traumatic events of war even after the war is over. This paper aims to explore the representation of mental illness and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in literature with special reference to Woolf’s character Septimus Warren Smith, using trauma theory which has attracted broad research over the past two decades or so. Septimus’s post war trauma is aggravated by a culturally prescribed process that silences and marginalizes people suffering from mental illness and traumatic disorders. Woolf reflects upon the negative effects of war on human nature, as well as on social and political institutions which is not ready to embrace the truths about mental illness and recovery, whereby encouraging further interdisciplinary research to explore the possibilities of understanding trauma psychology through literature. |
