- Disability, Literature, Genre is a genre study analysing representations of disability in contemporary horror, crime fiction, science fiction, fantasy and romance. To draw conclusions about these five genres, detailed discussion of key works is necessarily contextualised with briefer examinations of, and references to, a much larger body of primary texts, which took an extended period of time. The included Annotated Bibliography, for example, lists over 250 genre texts, and was assembled over a period of 12 years. The interdisciplinary nature of the book (English Literature/Disability Studies) means that the analyses are also situated in relation to multiple disciplinary contexts.
