Dettagli del libro

Contenuto

"Take Up Thy Bed and Walk" provides an in-depth critical analysis of a number of nineteenth and early twentieth-century works for girls, including "Jane Eyre," "Little Women," "The Secret Garden," and "Pollyanna." Lois Keith argues that these works reflect the widespread beliefs that a disabled life isn't a full life and that patients can cure themselves through force of will. She also situates her study in a modern context by discussing representations of disabled people in contemporary films such as "Breaking the Waves," contemporary plays such as "Broken" "Glass," and in the media coverage of Christopher Reeve.
