Modern Fiction, Disability, and the Hearing Sciences

About this book

The relationship between critical disability studies and the hearing sciences is a dynamic one, and it's changing still, both as clinicians come to terms with the evolving health of deaf and hearing communities and as the 'social' and 'medical' understandings of disability continue to gain traction among different groups. What might a 'cultural' approach to these overlapping areas of study involve? And what could narrative prose in particular have to tell us that other sources haven't sensed?

At a time when visual media otherwise seem to have captured the imagination, Modern Fiction, Disability, and the Hearing Sciences makes the case for a wide range of literature. In doing so – through serials, short stories, circadian fiction, narrative history, morality tales, whodunits, Bildungsromane, life-writing, the Great American Novel – the book reveals the diverse ways in which writers have plotted and voiced experiences of hearing, from the nineteenth century to the present day.
