- This substantial monograph is the product of a five-year Wellcome Trust project which brought together a team of academics from literature, cultural history and disability studies. It draws on extensive research in regional and national archives, contemporary newspapers and on many dozens of volumes of often little-known fiction, poetry, drama and memoirs from three British coalfields spanning a period of 70 years. Combining methodologies from disability theory and cultural history, the book looks in depth at lived experiences, creative interventions, and political and economic dimensions of disability. Interdisciplinary and intersectional, it demonstrates the importance of literature to understanding disability history.
