We are delighted to announce that David M. Turner has been awarded the Outstanding Publication Award for Disability in Eighteenth Century England (Routledge, 2012) by the Disability History Association.
The awarding committee made the following announcement:
"The selection committee very much appreciated the book’s wide scope, deep engagement with disability history and theory, and the ways Turner used archival sources both to make an overarching argument and reveal individual stories from both elites and the lower classes. Disability in Eighteenth-Century England weaved the ideas of popular culture and individual representation together in nuanced and oftentimes humorous, but always respectful, ways. Turner’s witty and very readable prose combined with his thorough analysis of archival material make Disability in Eighteenth-Century England as a must-read for students and specialists.”
