Abstract

This article centers the role of disability in shaping British poetry of the long eighteenth century (1660–1830). Framed by a methodology of disability poetics the essay examines verse written by Alexander Pope Lord Byron William Wordsworth and John Keats to consider the relationship between aesthetic form and corporeality. Disability poetics it argues does not merely address the representation of non-normative figures in poetic verse but rather accounts for the vital relationship between subject and form that rather than marginalize or mask what early modern writers understood to be deformed defective deviant or disabled functions as a crucial catalyst for poetic experimentation and invention.
