- Originating as an AHRC-funded doctoral project, this monograph contributes to the development of nineteenth-century literary studies and critical disability studies by redefining the conditions in which modern critical models of disability may be applied in historical settings. Researched over five years, it demonstrates how to recognise historical expressions of disabled identity in specific periods and literary genres, while contributing radical new readings of nineteenth-century texts. The monograph rediscovers the Victorian consumptive as a crucial figure in the history of disability politics – previously overlooked by scholars in this field – and illuminates future representations of chronic illness and disabled identity.
