It argues that disability and disabled people have been overlooked in Classics and the Humanities, and provides approaches and case studies to demonstrate the intellectual value of engaging with disability studies as classicists. The book is divided into four parts, exploring different aspects of disability in the ancient world and its reception. It will appeal to classicists, medical humanities scholars, sensory studies researchers, and anyone interested in the wider tension between representation and reality in ancient contexts. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 274 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14 May 2021\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores a range of approaches that reassess and reimagine traditional themes in the Greco-Roman world, classical reception, and disability studies. It argues that disability and disabled people have been overlooked in these fields, constituting the \"forgotten other\" within the humanities more broadly. Beyond the moral imperative of addressing this neglect, the book offers valuable insights into the intellectual value of engaging with disability studies as classicists and exploring the classical legacy in the medical humanities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is organized into four parts:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 1: Communicating and Controlling Impairment, Illness, and Pain\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Disability and the Medical Humanities\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Narrative Voice and Disability in Classical Literature\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Disability and the Body in Ancient Art and Archaeology\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 2: Using, Creating, and Showcasing Disability Supports and Services\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Accessible Classics: Engaging with Disability in Classical Education\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Disability Support Services in the Ancient World\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Disability and the Museum Experience\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 3: Real Bodies and Retrieving Senses: Disability in the Ritual Record\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Disability and Ritual Practice in the Ancient World\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8: Disability and Sensory Experience in Classical Literature and Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePart 4: Classical Reception as the Gateway between Classics and Disability Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: Disability and the Reception of Classical Literature\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Reinterpreting Classic Case Studies through the Lens of Disability Studies\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: The Parthenon and Disability Studies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is designed for classicists interested in the history of disabled people in the Greco-Roman world and in how modern disability studies can provide new insights and interpretations of historic case studies.
