About this work

Description

This book presents the most comprehensive review of deaf characters in literature available. Examining British and American examples found in novels, comics, poetry, television and film, the work identifies significant trends and themes that range from the last three hundred years to the present day. It is centered on an understanding of the history and development of deaf education, its impact on the use of oral speech and sign language, and the rise of deaf identity and deaf communities. The extensive research, comments and conclusions are of value to all who are interested in the medical humanities, deaf history and culture, disability studies, and representations in literature.
