Product Description

Literary and Cultural Disability Studies: A Primer is a seminal collection that brings together personal narratives, critical essays, poetry, and fiction to explore the multifaceted dimensions of disability in literature and culture. The opening section sets the stage with foundational essays that unpack the evolving terrain of disability studies. The critical frameworks that challenge ableism, analyse disabled subjectivity, explore intersectionality, and examine representational practices. These essays serve as a theoretical primer for understanding how disability operates within and against dominant cultural narratives. Through a powerful selection of short stories, this section centers the lived experience of disability, narrated through diverse voices—ranging from canonical writers like Rabindranath Tagore and H.G. Wells to contemporary voices such as Anne Finger and Hayleigh Barclay. Together, they reimagine agency and difference through story. The poetry section brings together a striking range of voices—from Wilfred Owen’s war-haunted meditations to Sylvia Plath’s layered emotional landscapes, and from Jim Ferris’s crip poetics to Tito Rajarshi Mukhopadhyay’s autistic self-expression. The final section deepens engagement through critical essays that revisit the literary texts introduced earlier. Scholars examine disability through multiple lenses: sexuality, madness, trauma, chronic illness, incarceration, and poetic form. These analyses interrogate not just what is represented but how—and to what end—offering nuanced readings that challenge normative interpretations. This primer is not just an introduction but an invitation—to read differently, to think deeply, and to imagine a more inclusive literary and cultural future.
