The collection contains essays on canonical authors and lesser known and sometimes forgotten writers, including Sylvia Plath, Louisa May Alcott, Hannah Weiner, Mary Jane Ward, Michelle Cliff, Lee Maracle, Joanne Greenberg, Ann Bannon, Jerry Pinto, Persimmon Blackridge, and others. The volume addresses the under-representation of madness and psychiatric disability in the field of disability studies, which traditionally focuses on physical disability, and explores the controversies and the common ground among disability studies, anti-psychiatric discourses, mad studies, graphic medicine, and health/medical humanities.Literary Disability Studies,2947-7417LiteraturePhilosophySocial medicineLiterature, Modern20th centuryLiterature, Modern21st centuryLiterary TheoryHealth, Medicine and SocietyContemporary LiteratureLiteraturePhilosophy.Social medicine.Literature, Modern20th century.Literature, Modern21st century.Literary Theory.Health, Medicine and Society.Contemporary Literature.801Donaldson Elizabeth J.1965-9910300035703321Literatures of Madness2185752UNINA
