A Cultural History of Disability in the Middle Ages
Jonathan Horng Hsy, David Bolt, Tory Vandeventer Pearman, Robert McRuer, Joshua Eyler
"The Middle Ages was an era of dynamic social transformation, and notions of disability in medieval culture reflected how norms and forms of embodiment interacted with gender, class, and race, among other dimensions of human difference. Ideas of disability in courtly romance, saints' lives, chronicles, sagas, secular lyrics, dramas, and pageants demonstrate the nuanced, and sometimes contradictory, relationship between cultural constructions of disability and the lived experience of impairment. An essential resource for researchers, scholars, and students of history, literature, culture, and education, A Cultural History of Disability in the Middle Ages explores such themes and topics as: atypical bodies, mobility impairment, chronic pain and illness, blindness, deafness, speech, learning difficulties, and mental health"
