Reviews

Michael Bradshaw's Disabling Romanticism: Body, Mind, and Text is a fine collection. ... This volume is an excellent and compelling introduction to this material. ... I would place this as one of the most valuable volumes to have appeared this year. (SEL Studies in English Literature, Vol. 57 (3), 2017)

I read Michael Bradshaw's edited collection Disabling Romanticism: Body, Mind, and Text with great interest. ... it has only nine articles, every one of them is substantive and useful. (Studies in English Literature 1500-1900, Vol. 57 (4), 2017) Michael Bradshaw's Disabling Romanticism: Body, Mind, and Text is a fine collection. ... This volume is an excellent and compelling introduction to this material. ... I would place this as one of the most valuable volumes to have appeared this year. (SEL Studies in English Literature, Vol. 57 (3), 2017) It is also one of the first books devoted to disability studies and British Romanticism, which is surprising when one considers the wealth of material on this topic for scholars working in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. ... the wide range of its essays show the importance of both physical and cognitive disability to British Romanticism. I hope this book will stimulate more sustained work on its topic, including monographs on Romanticism from the perspective of disability studies. (Karen Bourrier, Review 19, nbol-19.org, 2017)
