| Summary |
"Deaf and Dumb!" by Elizabeth Sandham is a fictional narrative written in the early 19th century. The book addresses the experiences of children who are deaf and mute, highlighting their struggles and the societal neglect they often face. Through the story, the author aims to raise awareness and compassion towards those with such disabilities, particularly focusing on the need for better educational and social support. The narrative revolves around two young children, William and Lucy Goldsmith, who face the challenges of deafness and muteness. Their plight captures the attention of kind-hearted individuals like Mr. Beaufort, who works to secure their admission to a charitable asylum designed for the education of deaf-mute children. The story explores their daily experiences, family dynamics, and the emotional bond between the siblings, all while shedding light on the importance of compassion and community support in transforming their lives. As the children receive the education and skills they need, the book culminates in themes of hope, recovery, and the fulfillment of their potential. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
