Whether focusing on ancient texts by Zhuangzi or Ovid, renaissance drama, folktales collected by the Brothers Grimm, novels or silent film, the chapters in this volume highlight the dialectics of “loss” and “gain” in narratives of amputation to encourage critical dialogue and forge an integrated, embodied understanding of experiences of impairment in which mind and body, metaphor and materiality, theory and politics are considered as interrelated and interacting aspects of disability and ability.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eErik \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eGrayson\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor of English at Northampton Community College, USA.
