Disability and the Victorians brings together in one collection a range of topics, perspectives and experiences from the Victorian
era that present a unique overview of the development and impact of attitudes and interventions towards those with impairments
during this time. The collection also considers how the legacies of these actions can be seen to have continued throughout
the twentieth century right up to the present day. Subjects addressed include deafness, blindness, language delay, substance
dependency, imperialism and the representation of disabled characters in popular fiction. These varied topics illustrate how
common themes can be found in how Victorian philanthropists and administrators responded to those under their care. Often
character, morality and the chance to be restored to productivity and usefulness overrode medical need and this both influenced
and reflected wider societal views of impairment and inability. -- .
