Mobility and Corporeality in 19th and 21st Century Anglophone
Literature: Bodies in Motion aims at exploring the intersection of
literary, mobility and body studies in Anglophone literature from
the 19th century to the 21st century. Corporeal mobility includes a
variety of mobile bodies that have long been othered and
marginalised due to issues pertaining to gender, disability, race,
and class. Yet there is a relative lack of academic work on it,
despite the fact that Anglophone literature has increasingly
portrayed the circulation of characters, objects, and information
since the 19th century, echoing the many types of mobility that
have occurred through processes of colonisation, decolonisation and
globalisation. This book, therefore, discusses the ways in which
literatures produced in the English-speaking world challenge
normative depictions of bodies on the move and reconceptualise them
by making corporeality an essential feature of movement across the
world.
