The book examines texts from across the century, from Frederic Shoberl's 1833 English translation of Victor Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris to Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Crooked Man" (1893), covering genres that typically relied upon disabled or diseased characters. By tracing the patterns of focalization and narrative structure across six decades of the nineteenth century and across six genres, Articulating Bodies demonstrates that throughout the Victorian era, authors of fiction used narrative form as well as narrative theme to negotiate how to categorize bodies, both constructing and questioning the boundary dividing normalcy from abnormality. As fiction's form developed from the massive hybrid novels of the early decades of the nineteenth century to the case-study length of fin-de-sie?cle mysteries, disability became increasingly medicalized, moving from the position of spectacle to specimen. 410 0$aRepresentations (Liverpool, England) 606 $aEnglish fiction$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aDisabilities in literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc.$2fast 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aDisabilities in literature. 676 $a823/.8093561 700 $aHingston$b Kylee-Anne$01214538 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910552750103321 996 $aArticulating bodies$92804424 997 $aUNINA
