About the Author

EDNA EDITH SAYERS was a professor of English at Gallaudet University, the famous school for the deaf. She has edited two anthologies: one of Deaf activist writers and another of deaf characters in literature.

Reviews

"The research is impressive. . . . [Sayers's] writing is engaging, her literary references illuminating, and, most of all, her arguments provocative. The blending of Gallaudet's achievements--notably the advocacy of signing, the establishment of the school for the deaf, and the pedagogy of whole word reading--with emphatic bigotry is one scholars cannot ignore."-- "New England Quarterly"

"Sayers . . . takes a different approach than the usual "born-studied-mastered-married-parented-died" biographical formula, and delves deeper into Gallaudet's political and religious leanings, shining light into a perhaps lesser-known side of his character. Gallaudet was a mirror of his times, and his involvement in the Congregational Church, the Federalist Party, and various social and political causes is explored. . . . Of value to those interested in Deaf culture and disability studies in general."-- "Library Journal"
