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" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a People with disabilities in literature. 650 0 $a Disability studies. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Literature, Modern $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Sociology of disability. 830 0 $a Literature and contemporary thought. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210903015815.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171230055546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E2E751EC6B5311E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
