Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the legal and social history of deaf and dumb people in America and Europe from ancient times to the mid-19th century. At the outset, the author notes that deaf and dumb individuals were often regarded as "idiots" and denied basic rights. This view is shown to have persisted from the time of the Code of Justinian (6th century C.E.) through the feudal era and beyond. The author traces the gradual improvement in the legal status of the deaf and dumb, culminating in the right in England to own property and manage their own affairs. The author credits this progress to an increased understanding of deafness and dumbness and the growing number of educated deaf and dumb individuals. The book not only provides a thorough and well-documented history, but also a valuable perspective on the progress of human rights and the evolving understanding of disability.
