In 1896 the British physician William Pringle Morgan published an
account of "Percy," a "bright and intelligent boy, quick at games,
and in no way inferior to others of his age." Yet, in spite of his
intelligence, Percy had great difficulty learning to read. Percy
was one of the first children to be described as having
word-blindness, better known today as dyslexia. In this first
comprehensive history of dyslexia Philip Kirby and Margaret
Snowling chart a journey that begins with Victorian medicine and
continues to dyslexia's current status as the most globally
recognized specific learning difficulty. In an engaging narrative
style, Kirby and Snowling tell the story of dyslexia, examining its
origins and revealing the many scientists, teachers, and
campaigners who put it on the map. Through this history they
explain current debates over the diagnosis of dyslexia and its
impact on learning. For those who have lived experience of
dyslexia, professionals who have supported them, and scholars of
social history, education, psychology, and childhood studies,
Dyslexia reflects on the place of literacy in society - whom it has
benefited, and whom it has left behind.
