- Abstract
The article discusses the book "A Cultural History of Disability in the Long Eighteenth Century" edited by D. Christopher Gabbard and Susannah B. Mintz. The book aims to explore the representation of disabled people throughout history and how disabled individuals themselves construct and respond to these representations. It takes an intersectional approach, considering factors such as gender, race, sexuality, and nation. The book covers various impairments, including mobility impairment, chronic pain, blindness, deafness, speech, learning difficulties, and mental health issues. It also expands beyond England to include France and the Americas, and addresses both visible and invisible disabilities. The contributors engage in a cohesive conversation with each other, making a significant contribution to the field of disability studies.
