REPORT


Literary Disability Studies Series editors: Dr David Bolt (Liverpool Hope University, UK), Dr Elizabeth J. Donaldson (New York Institute of Technology, USA) and Dr Julia Miele Rodas (Bronx Community College/City University of New York, USA). Literary Disability Studies is the first book series dedicated to the exploration of literature and literary topics from a disability studies perspective. Focused on literary content and informed by disability theory, disability research, disability activism, and disability experience, the Palgrave Macmillan series provides a home for a growing body of advanced scholarship exploring the ways in which the literary imagination intersects with historical and contemporary attitudes toward disability. This cutting-edge interdisciplinary work will include both monographs and edited collections (as well as focused research that does not fall within traditional monograph length). The series is supported by an editorial board of internationally recognised literary scholars specialising in disability studies. David Bolt is Associate Professor of Disability and Education at Liverpool Hope University, UK.  Elizabeth J. Donaldson is Associate Professor of English at New York Institute of Technology, USA. Julia Miele Rodas is Associate Professor of English at Bronx Community College/City University of New York, USA. Editorial Board: Michael Bérubé, Pennsylvania State University, USA; G.
