Disability and the Victorians
Disability and the Victorians brings together in one collection a range of topics, perspectives and experiences from the Victorian era that present a unique overview of the development and impact of attitudes and interventions towards those with impairments during this time. Subjects addressed include deafness, blindness, language delay, substance dependency, imperialism and the representation of disabled characters in popular fiction. The collection also considers how the legacies of these actions can be seen to have continued throughout the twentieth century right up to the present day.
Often character, morality and the chance to be restored to productivity and usefulness overrode medical need and this both influenced and reflected These varied topics illustrate how common themes can be found in how Victorian philanthropists and administrators responded to those under their care.
