Sommario/riassunto

Christian-Muslim interaction is a reality today in all corners of the globe, but while many celebrate the commonality of these traditions, significant differences remain. If these religions cannot be easily reconciled, can we perhaps view them through a single albeit refractive lens? This is the approach Paul Heck takes in Common Ground: To undertake a study of religious pluralism as a theological and social reality, and to approach the two religions in tandem as part of a broader discussion on the nature of the good society. Rather than compare Christianity and Islam as two species of faith,

Sommario/riassunto

This book offers new readings and interpretations of the non-normative narratives of 'freak show' performers in the Victorian period as they have been reimagined by contemporary fictions, museum exhibitions and other aspects of the heritage experience. The growth of scholarly interest in institutional histories has been mapped by a surge of neo-Victorian fiction about historical performers with disabilities,



supported by scholarship in response to these representations. This study offers the first extensive analysis of the continued display of the bodies and artefacts of historical figures linked to the freak show, and the significant theoretical connections between these displays and broader cultural and fictional representations. It argues that museum displays, archives and fictional adaptations intersect through a much more complex and intriguing dialogue than has previously been identified, shedding light on the way in which historical disability functions in the twenty-first century. Louise Logan-Smith is Associate Lecturer in English Studies and Tutor of Creative Writing at Teesside University, UK, where she teaches modules on literary culture in the twenty-first century, creative writing, and Victorian and Neo-Victorian literature.
