This session will aim to showcase several literary portrayals of disability that – though largely unacknowledged – fulfil this remit, setting a precedent for future literary depictions of the disabled experience.
The characters in this discussion have a variety of disabilities, including physical impairments, chronic pain, and mental illness. This session will also aim to uncover the researchers’ own personal motivations for undertaking the study, and will draw upon their own experiences of both disability and literary study.
