This Companion analyzes the representation of disability in
literatures in English, including American and postcolonial
writing, across all major time periods and through a variety of
critical approaches. Through the alternative ideas of mind and
embodiment generated by physiological and psychological
impairments, an understanding of disability narrative changes the
way we read literature. With contributions from major figures in
literary disability studies, The Cambridge Companion to Literature
and Disability covers a wide range of impairments, including
cognitive difference, neurobehavioral conditions, and mental and
chronic illnesses. This book shows how disability demands
innovation in literary form and aesthetics, challenges the notion
of a human 'norm' in the writing of character, and redraws the ways
in which writing makes meaning of the broad spectrum of humanity.
It will be a key resource for students and teachers of disability
and literary studies.
