Reviews
'Disability and the Victorians: Attitudes, Interventions, Legacies is a very timely work. In the midst of a global pandemic that has left many people newly impaired, there is an increased need for scholarship that provides frameworks for coming to terms with disability as a sociocultural phenomenon and a lived identity. [...] Disability and the Victorians makes an important contribution to the history of medicine and attitudes toward disability in Victorian Britain and beyond and provides a useful resource for scholars of nineteenth-century Britain.'
Joyce L. Huff, Journal of British Studies
Disability and the Victorians certainly fulfils its editors' desire to generate debate and spur further research: its contents encourage critical reflection on disabled people's experiences in the present day, thus enabling us to see how monumentally important the task of exploring the history of disability is.
