1. 1. The Cambridge Companion To Literature And Disability

   

   This collection brings together literary criticism and disability studies to examine how novels, poetry, drama and film represent impairment and shape cultural understandings of bodily and cognitive difference. Contributors combine historical and theoretical perspectives—contrasting medical and social models, exploring narrative form, embodiment, aesthetics and ethics—and survey a range of periods, genres and global contexts to show how disability intersects with gender, race, class and sexuality. The book also addresses methodological issues for reading and teaching disability in literature, arguing that close attention to representation can both reveal social attitudes and open up alternative imaginings of agency, identity and community.
