Modern Fiction, Disability, and the Hearing Sciences (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Allen, Edward

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

At a time when visual media otherwise seem to have captured the imagination, Modern Fiction, Disability, and the Hearing Sciences makes the case for a wide range of literature. In doing so, the book reveals the diverse ways in which writers have plotted and voiced experiences of hearing, from the nineteenth century to the present day.
