Description
About the Book
Provides a detailed overview of the history, concepts, and current debates at the intersection of disability theory and Shakespeare studies with close readings of Shakespeare's plays.Book Synopsis
Shakespeare and Disability Theory serves as a guide to the intersections of Shakespeare studies and disability studies. Intervening in contemporary critical debates about recognizing disability representations in dramatic texts, Genevieve Love explores the stakes of embodying disability in Shakespearean performance.After tracking the emergence of critical disability studies as a field, Love maps out how claims from disability theory influence and continue to transform Shakespeare studies. Through methodologies of literary disability studies, the volume provides fresh readings of a range of Shakespeare texts, illustrating the power of disability theory to reframe familiar ideas in Shakespeare and to illuminate unfamiliar ones. While the archetypal Richard III provides an extended case study that highlights performance choices by disabled actors and contemporary appropriations of disability, Love's close readings move beyond Shakespeare's representations of singular disabled characters. Plays such as Julius Caesar and King Lear display the expansive networks through which we recognize Shakespearean disability, including neurodiversity. Subsequent chapters underscore disability's intersectionality, recognized through dynamics of incorporation, care, and community in Othelloand Henry V, and demonstrate how plays such as The Tempestand Titus Andronicusmobilize disability as a resource for theatricality through stage properties and theatrical prostheses. All these approaches point to engagements with literary and theatrical disability representations that challenge outmoded methods for Shakespeare students, scholars and practitioners.
