Dear Colleagues
We’re very pleased to announce the publication of Disabling Romanticism: Body, Mind, and Text (Basingstoke: Palgrave, 2016), a new collection of essays evaluating the impact of disability studies on the interpretation of Romantic literature. This book investigates the presence of disability in British Romantic literature, as subject matter, as metaphorical theme, and as lived experience. It is the first collection of its kind, breaking new ground in re-interpreting key texts and providing a challenging overview of this emerging field.
The collection offers both a critique of academic Romantic studies and an affirmation of the responsiveness of the Romantic canon to new stimuli. The various case study chapters use a broad range of theorised and historical approaches. Authors discussed include William Blake, Lord Byron, Ann Batten Cristall, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, George Darley, Richard Payne Knight, William Gilpin, Mary Robinson, Mary Shelley, Robert Southey, and William Wordsworth. The international team of contributing scholars comprises: Michael Bradshaw (editor), William D. Brewer, David Chandler, Jeremy Davies, Corey Goergen, Essaka Joshua, Christine Kenyon Jones, Matt Lorenz, Julia Miele Rodas, and Emily B. Stanback. Disabling Romanticism is available direct from the Palgrave Macmillan website:
