englischThis study analyses four Scottish novels on the Highland Clearances from the point of view of trauma theory. The Clearances, carried out in the Scottish Highlands approximately 200 years ago, and the feelings of betrayal that stemmed from them often resulted in the victims being traumatised. This study theoretically proves that a capacity to process this trauma can be identified within the novels. Thus, this book will be of interest to readers with a research focus on literary and cultural studies (among others). In his analysis, Ebest also adopts approaches from postcolonialism and historiography. In addition, modes of thought stemming from the fields of trauma/memory, nationalism and conflict research are employed.
