Description

Product Description This Companion analyzes the representation of disability in literatures in English, including American and postcolonial writing, across all major time periods and through a variety of critical approaches. Through the alternative ideas of mind and embodiment generated by physiological and psychological impairments, an understanding of disability narrative changes the way we read literature. With contributions from major figures in literary disability studies, The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Disability covers a wide range of impairments, including cognitive difference, neurobehavioral conditions, and mental and chronic illnesses. This book shows how disability demands innovation in literary form and aesthetics, challenges the notion of a human 'norm' in the writing of character, and redraws the ways in which writing makes meaning of the broad spectrum of humanity. It will be a key resource for students and teachers of disability and literary studies. Review '… an excellent collection of writing on representation.' Amanda Tink, Sydney Review of Books'… is an essential resource for scholars, academics and those with personal interest in the depiction and portrayal of disability narratives both historical and contemporary.' Heather Lacey, British Society for Literature and Science Reviews Book Description Working across time periods and critical contexts, this volume provides the most comprehensive overview of literary representations of disability.
