520 $a"The Idea of Disability in the Eighteenth Century explores the intersections between the ways disabled people were and are understood in history. It presents a new analysis of disability as an alternative to the foucauldian, called Variability, which is consciously historicist and centers on the individual as "the same only different" from the non-disabled. The essays in this collection examine Variability in three ways: philosophically (Margaret Cavendish, John Locke, Lord Shaftesbury, and Thomas Reid), conceptually (in the novel, personal statements, and journalism) and experientially (writer's biographies), and together demonstrate that disability was an active organizing principle of eighteenth-century thought and literature, as well as a viable way of life." - Book cover
