Description

Recovering Disability in Early Modern England by Allison P. Hobgood explores how representations of disabled bodies and minds have been overlooked or misidentified in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English literature. This collection of essays offers a new theoretical lens for understanding human variation and early modern subjectivities, reanimating scholarly dialogue about difference. The book examines various topics, including disability in Renaissance texts, madness in revenge tragedies, and the materiality of literary blindness. Through its diverse range of subjects and approaches, Recovering Disability in Early Modern England sheds new light on the complexities of disability and identity in early modern England.
