INDEX 163
Although the theme of blindness occurs
frequently in literature, literary criticism
has rarely engaged the experiential
knowledge of people with visual impair-
ments. The Meta narrative of Blindness
counters this trend by bringing to readings
of twentieth-century works in English a
perspective appreciative of impairment
and disability. Author David Bolt examines
representations of blindness in more than
forty literary works, including writing by
Kipling, Joyce, Synge, Orwell, H. G. Wells,
Susan Sontag, and Stephen King, shed-
ding light on the deficiencies of these
representations and sometimes revealing
an uncomfortable resonance with the
Anglo-American science of eugenics.
What connects these seemingly
disparate works is what Bolt calls the
meta narrative of blindness, a narrative
steeped in mythology and with deep
roots in Western culture. Bolt examines
literary representations of blindness using
the analytical tools of disability studies in
both the humanities and social sciences.
His readings are also broadly appreciative
of personal, social, and cultural aspects
of disability, with the aim of bringing
literary scholars to the growing discipline
of disability studies, and vice versa. This
interdisciplinary monograph is relevant
to people working in literary studies,
disability studies, psychology, sociology,
applied linguistics, life writing, and cultural
studies, as well as those with a general
interest in education and representations
of blindness.
