Examining representations of speech disorders in works of
literature, this first collection of its kind founds a new
multidisciplinary subfield related but not limited to the emerging
fields of disability studies and medical humanities. The scope is
wide-ranging both in terms of national literatures and historical
periods considered, engaging with theoretical discussions in
poststructuralism, disability studies, cultural studies, new
historicism, gender studies, sociolinguistics, trauma studies, and
medical humanities. The book's main focus is on the development of
an awareness of speech pathology in the literary imaginary from the
late-eighteenth century to the present, studying the novel, drama,
epic poetry, lyric poetry, autobiography and autopathography, and
clinical case studies and guidebooks on speech therapy. The volume
addresses a growing interest, both in popular culture and the
humanities, regarding the portrayal of conditions such as
stuttering, aphasia and mutism, along with the status of the self
in relation to those conditions. Since speech pathologies are
neither illnesses nor outwardly physical disabilities, critical
studies of their representation have tended to occupy a liminal
position in relation to other discourses such as literary and
cultural theory, and even disability studies. One of the primary
aims of this collection is to address this marginalization, and to
position a cultural criticism of speech pathology within literary
studies.
