Blindness has long intrigued the sighted, and while modern portrayals of the blind experience are becoming more positive, they remain influenced by the artists' visual biases. This book investigates the disparities between how sighted artists depict the beauty of blindness and the actual aesthetic experiences of blind individuals. It employs a radical interdisciplinary approach to reinterpret well-known dramatic representations of blindness, examining the limits of the sighted imagination and the sensory limitations imposed by a visually dominated understanding of beauty. The works of J. M. Synge, W. B. Yeats, and Brian Friel are analyzed to create an innovative medium for theoretical and experiential dialogue across literature, aesthetics, and disability studies. The book also highlights previously overlooked aspects of these three renowned Irish dramatists while addressing the implications of traditional aesthetic theories and art education for blind individuals. The insights provided will benefit those interested in modern literature, differential aesthetics, visual culture, perception, and the lived experience of blindness.
