Literary Disability Studies is the first book series dedicated to the exploration of literature and literary topics from a disability studies perspective. Focused on literary content and informed by disability theory, disability research, disability activism, and disability experience, the Palgrave Macmillan/Springer series provides a home for a growing body of advanced scholarship exploring the ways in which the literary imagination intersects with historical and contemporary attitudes toward disability. This cutting edge interdisciplinary work includes both monographs and edited collections (as well as focused research that does not fall within traditional monograph length).
Titles available:
Michael Bradshaw, Disabling Romanticism
Elizabeth J. Donaldson, Literatures of Madness: Disability Studies and Mental Health
Chris Foss, Jonathan W. Gray, and Zach Whalen, Disability in Comic Books and Graphic Narratives
Patricia Friedrich, The Literary and Linguistic Construction of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Lindsey Row-Heyveld, Dissembling Disability in Early Modern English Drama
Alex Tankard, Tuberculosis and Disabled Identity in Nineteenth Century Literature
