Embodiment and Disability in 3 Henry VI and Richard III
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.
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.
