Abstract

Abstract:In "Embodiment and Disability in 3 Henry VI and Richard III," I argue that Richard's choice of weapon, a falchion, offers new insight into how Shakespeare represents disability in the two plays. Because the weapon was often used to flay kills during hunts, I argue that Richard curtails other bodies and adds their biomass to his own. Doing so allows Richard to blur the lines between his body and those of others, turning ableism against itself to raise him to the English throne.

《亨利六世与理查三世》中的化身与残疾

摘要:在《亨利六世与理查三世的化身与残疾》一文中，笔者认为理查选择的凶器——匕首，为我们提供了一个新的视角来理解莎士比亚在这两部戏剧中是如何表现残疾的。因为这种武器在狩猎中经常被用来剥猎物的皮，我认为理查德减少了其他人的尸体，并增加了他们的生物量。这样做可以让理查模糊自己和他人身体之间的界限，利用残疾歧视本身来帮助他登上英格兰王位。

期刊介绍： SEL focuses on four fields of British literature in rotating, quarterly issues: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. The editors select learned, readable papers that contribute significantly to the understanding of British literature from 1500 to 1900. SEL is well known for thecommissioned omnibus review of recent studies in the field that is included in each issue. In a single volume, readers might find an argument for attributing a previously unknown work to Shakespeare or de-attributing a famous work from Milton, a study ofthe connections between class and genre in the Restoration Theater.
