Disability plays a central role in much of the most celebrated literature, yet it is only in recent years that literary criticism has begun to consider the aesthetic, ethical and literary challenges that this poses. The author explores: - key debates and issues in disability studies today - different forms of impairment, with the aim of showing the diversity and ambiguity of the term "disability" - the intersection between literary critical approaches to disability and feminist, post-colonial, and autobiographical writing - genre and representations of disability in relation to literary forms including novels, short stories, poems, plays and life writing. This volume provides students and academics with an accessible overview of literary critical approaches to disability representation" --$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aLiterature and Contemporary Thought 606 $aPeople with disabilities in literature 606 $aDisability studies 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSociology of disability 615 0$aPeople with disabilities in literature. 615 0$aDisability studies. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSociology of disability. 676 $a809/.933561 676 $a809.933561 700 $aHall$b Alice$c(Literature professor),$01337124 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910727249903321 996 $aLiterature and disability$93381615 997 $aUNINA
