Upending our tendency to learn past due twentieth-century conceptions of incapacity onto the our bodies of freak exhibit performers, Durbach indicates that those spectacles helped to articulate the cultural meanings invested in otherness--and therefore clarified what it intended to be British—at a key second within the making of recent and imperial ideologies and identities.
