For Wilson, the changing meanings of disability created through shifting perspectives in Shakespeare's plays prefigure a series of modern attempts to understand Richard's body in different disciplinary contexts-from history and philosophy to sociology and medicine.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile theorizing a role for Shakespeare in the field of disability history, Wilson reveals how Richard III has become an index for some of modernity's central concerns-the tension between appearance and reality, the conflict between individual will and external forces of nature and culture, the possibility of upward social mobility, and social interaction between self and other, including questions of discrimination, prejudice, hatred, oppression, power, and justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/correctionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-9952149\"\u003eJeffrey R.
