Writing Disability: A Critical History (Disability in Society)

By Sara Newman

What accounts for the differing ways that individuals and cultures have tried to make sense of mental and physical disabilities? Can we see a pattern of change over time? Sara Newman examines personal narratives across a broad sweep of history from ancient Greece to the present day to reveal the interplay of dynamics that have shaped both personal and societal conceptions of mental and physical difference.
