Intervening in contemporary critical debates about recognizing disability representations in dramatic texts, Genevieve Love explores the stakes of embodying disability in Shakespearean performance.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e After tracking the emergence of critical disability studies as a field, Love maps out how claims from disability theory influence and continue to transform Shakespeare studies. Through methodologies of literary disability studies, the volume provides fresh readings of a range of Shakespeare texts, illustrating the power of disability theory to reframe familiar ideas in Shakespeare and to illuminate unfamiliar ones. While the archetypal \u003ci\u003eRichard III\u003c\/i\u003e provides an extended case study that highlights performance choices by disabled actors and contemporary appropriations of disability, Love's close readings move beyond Shakespeare's representations of singular disabled characters. Plays such as \u003ci\u003eJulius Caesar\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e display the expansive networks through which we recognize Shakespearean disability, including neurodiversity. Subsequent chapters underscore disability's intersectionality, recognized through dynamics of incorporation, care, and community in \u003ci\u003eOthello \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eHenry V\u003c\/i\u003e, and demonstrate how plays such as \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus \u003c\/i\u003emobilize disability as a resource for theatricality through stage properties and theatrical prostheses. All these approaches point to engagements with literary and theatrical disability representations that challenge outmoded methods for Shakespeare students, scholars and practitioners.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenevieve Love\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of English at Colorado College, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 208\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 13, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43155760152639,"sku":"9781350424364","price":237.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/LGCI0CLyXw9781350424364.webp?v=1776966323","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/shakespeare-and-disability-theory-hardcover","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
