Disability and Rurality in American Literature cover

Description

Disability and Rurality in American Literature: Ecosomatic Pastoralism highlights the ways in which contemporary American writers deploy disability in order to deconstruct American pastoralism. Through contextualized close readings of fictional and nonfictional narratives about the disability-rurality nexus, this book charts a literary geography of disability that challenges and ultimately expands the pastoral ideal at the core of the American environmental imagination.
