- Description
- This publication examines how disability shapes the British literary history of sexuality. The author shows that various eighteenth-century novelists represent disability and sexuality in flexible ways to reconfigure the political and social landscapes of eighteenth-century Britain. Writers discussed are Duncan Campbell, Eliza Haywood, Samuel Richardson, Sarah Scott, Tobias Smollett, Maria Edgeworth, Frances Burney, and Jane Austen.
