Hi all,
I am not too familiar with the Shakespeare/disability discussions, even
though I read something once (by David Hevey?). For the most part; I can
only remember (or think I can remember) two things:
1) Historically, Richard was not disabled.
2) It is, primarily, a tool for poetic characterisation of the diabolc
Richard: ”determined to prove a villain” – ”cheated of feature by
dissembling nature, / Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time”.
But: I am sure someone has written at length about this? But, where
should I start? Which article is most, there I say it, foundational?
All the best,
Halvor
