Summary: This book will help to develop a social history on disabilities by providing a multidisciplinary overview of images of people with disabilities in Western history; promoting the exchange of cross-disciplinary information on disabled people from art, literature, original data, and historical works; filling the gap in our understanding of how disabled people were viewed prior to modern history; illustrating how art and literature can be used to understand how disabled people were perceived in their respective times; and showing how historical factors shape some of our current perceptions about disability.
