Beyond Bridgerton: The Duke of Hastings and the Reality of Disability History
It's our second episode of Beyond Bridgerton, the interview series while we wait for season 3!
In our second episode, we interview Dr Zoe Chadwick, a medical historian on disability and deformity. We're going back to season one of Bridgerton, where we explore Simon's speech impediment and how he would have been treated by Regency society. In this eye opening interview, Zoe tells us about disabilities in the Georgian and Victorian period such as speech impediments, hearing impairment and physical deformities. We'll discuss Queen Charlotte and King George's mysterious disability, The Bowes-Lyons family from Netflix's the Crown, asylums, freak shows and the difference of treatment between the wealthy and the working class.
Zoe's reccomended books to explore disability throughout history:
Literature, Speech Disorders, and Disability: Talking Normal by Chris Eagle
Disability Histories by Michael Rembis and Susan Burch
A Brief History of Disability by Molly Seymour
The History of Medicine: A Very Short Introduction by William Bynum
Fictions of Affliction: Physical Disability in Victorian Culture by Martha Stoddard Holmes
