Kompletní popis

Disability and Modern Fiction explores shifting definitions and representations of physical and mental impairment in 20th and 21st century culture through a focus on the work of William Faulkner, Toni Morrison and JM Coetzee. Taking as its starting point Virginia Woolf's essay 'On Being Ill' (1930), the book argues that focusing on literary representations of disability opens up new critical categories for the analysis of fiction. Through consideration of their work as critics and Nobel Prize-winning public intellectuals, as well as authors, the book proposes new ways of reading Faulkner, Morrison and Coetzee in relation to one another, and in doing so highlights the ethical, aesthetic and imaginative challenges they pose to readers.
