Abstract

This article examines how Shardlake’s disability, often a source of societal stigma, becomes a defining aspect of his strength, enabling him to drive complex socio-political landscapes and solve tangled mysteries. This study explores how the protagonist challenges dominant narratives of physical perfection and societal exclusion. The article underscores Tombland as a vital contribution to the representation of disability in historical fiction, celebrating the triumph of intellect and morality over adversity. C.J. Sansom’s Tombland presents a compelling narrative that intertwines historical intrigue with a profound exploration of disability and durability. It also examines how Shardlake overcomes his physical limitations to become an emblematic figure in historical fiction, exploring critical interpretations of his character and Sansom’s representation of disability.

Keywords: disability, societal stigma, historical contexts, lawyer-turned-detective, representation of disability.
