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-siecle mysteries, disability became increasingly medicalized, moving from the position of spectacle to specimen. 650 0 $a English fiction $y 19th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Human body in literature. 650 0 $a Disabilities in literature. 650 0 $a Abnormalities, Human, in literature. 650 0 $a People with disabilities in literature. 650 7 $a 18.05 English literature. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077611977 $2 bcl 650 7 $a Disabilities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01940210 650 7 $a English fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910817 650 7 $a 18.05 English literature. $0 (NL-LeOCL)077611977 $2 nbc 648 7 $a 1800-1899 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 830 0 $a Representations (Liverpool, England) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317032300.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C96F6232807011EABE26D64B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
