      abstract = {This collection examines the intersection of the  discourses of "disability" and "monstrosity" in a timely  and necessary intervention in the scholarly fields of  Disability Studies and Monster Studies. Analyzing Medieval  and Early Modern art and literature replete with images of  non-normative bodies, these essays consider the pernicious  history of defining people with distinctly non-normative  bodies or non-normative cognition as monsters. In many  cases throughout Western history, a figure marked by what  Rosemarie Garland-Thomson has termed "the extraordinary  body" is labeled a "monster." This volume explores the  origins of this conflation, examines the problems and  possibilities inherent in it, and casts both disability and  monstrosity in light of emergent, empowering discourses of  posthumanism.},
