Across genres—spiritual visions, lyric poetry, and travel narratives—medieval authors craft inventive ways to theorize their own experiences of blindness, deafness, mental illness, mobility, aging, and chronic illness. Engaging with major and lesser-known figures, Jonathan Hsy asks: what can disability teach us about knowledge, art, and community?
