Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture shows how depictions of prostheses complicated the contemporary bodily status quo, which increasingly demanded an appearance of physical wholeness. Revealing how representations of the prostheticized body were inflected significantly by factors such as social class, gender, and age, Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture argues that nineteenth-century prosthesis narratives, though presented in a predominantly ableist and sometimes disablist manner, challenged the dominance of physical completeness as they questioned the logic of prostheticization or presented non-normative subjects in threateningly powerful ways. Considering texts by authors including Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, and Arthur Conan Doyle alongside various cultural, medical, and commercial materials, this book provides an important reappraisal of historical attitudes to not only prostheses but also concepts of physical normalcy and difference. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Nineteenth-Century Writing and Culture 606 $aLiterary studies: c 1800 to c 1900$2bicssc 606 $aSociology$2bicssc 610 $anineteenth century literature 610 $adisability in literature 610 $aprosthetics in literature 610 $aVictorian disability 610 $aCharles Dickens 610 $aWilkie Collins 610 $aEdgar Allen Poe 610 $aOpen Access 610 $aVictorian Literature 610 $aLiterature, Science and Medicine Studies 610 $aLiterature and Disability Studies 610 $aNovel 615 7$aLiterary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 615 7$aSociology 676 $a810.93561 676 $a810.93561 700 $aSweet$b Ryan$01076010 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512160903321 996 $aProsthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture$92586037 997 $aUNINA
