Excerpt from Proceedings at the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe: November 11, 1901 In an age when new developments of science, great financial schemes, floods of literature, and vital national and international problems are absorbing the thoughts of mankind, the men of the past who have made the present possible may be forgotten unless we raise to them some enduring monument. Such a man was Dr. Samuel Gridley Howe. The progress achieved during the twenty-five years that have elapsed since his death has proved the intrinsic value of his wisdom and sagacity in working out practical, fundamental principles for the management of philanthropic and educational institutions. Lest his noble service should be forgotten by those who should hold it in grateful and affectionate remembrance, the graduates of the Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind determined to recognize in an appropriate manner the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of their great benefactor.

From Tiny Tim to Helen Keller, disabled people in the nineteenth century were portrayed in sentimental terms, as afflicted beings whose sufferings afforded ablebodied people opportunities to practice empathy and compassion. In all kinds of representations of disability, from popular fiction to the reports of institutions established for the education and rehabilitation of disabled people, the equation of disability and sentimentality served a variety of social functions, from ensuring the continued existence of a sympathetic sensibility in a hard-hearted, market-driven world, to asserting the selfhood and equality of disabled adults. Unique in its focus on blindness and its examination of the interplay between institutional discourse and popular literature, Woeful Afflictions offers a detailed historical analysis of the types of cultural work performed by sentimental representations of disability in public reports and lectures, exhibitions, novels, stories, poems, autobiographical writings, and popular media portrayals from the 1830s through the 1890s in the United States. Woeful Afflictions combines contemporary scholarship on sentimentalism with the most recent works on the cultural meanings of disability to argue that sentimentalism, with its emphasis on creating emotional identifications between texts and readers, both reinforces existing associations between disability and otherness and works to rewrite those associations in portraying disabled people, in their emotional capacities, as no different from the ablebodied. This book will interest anyone concerned with disability studies and the social construction of the body, with the history of education and of public institutional care in the United States, and with autobiographical writings.
