Literature And Disability by Alice Hall
This book examines how literature shapes, reflects, and challenges cultural understandings of disability, bringing together close readings and disability studies theory to show how narrative forms, characterisation, genre and aesthetics produce particular meanings about embodied difference; it traces historical and ethical dimensions of representation, interrogates concepts like normalcy, agency and care, and argues that literary texts both reinforce and resist social hierarchies, offering insights for more inclusive and politically engaged approaches to reading and writing.
