Everyone knows what is feels like to be in pain Scraped knees toothaches migraines giving birth cancer heart attacks & heartaches pain permeates our entire lives We also witness other people
- loved ones
- suffering & we 'feel with' them It is easy to assume this is the end of the story 'pain-is-pain-is-pain' & that is all there is to say But it is not In fact the way in which people respond to what they describe as 'painful' has changed considerably over time In the eighteenth & nineteenth centuries for example people believed that pain served a specific (and positive) function
- it was a message from God or Nature; it would perfect the spirit ' Suffer in this life & you wouldn't suffer in the next one' Submission to pain was required Nothing could be more removed from twentieth & twenty-first century understandings where pain is regarded as an unremitting evil to be 'fought' Focusing on the English-speaking world this book tells the story of pain since the eighteenth century addressing fundamental questions about the experience & nature of suffering over the last three centuries How have those in pain interpreted their suffering
- & how have these interpretations changed over time? How have people learnt to conduct themselves when suffering? How do friends & family react? & what about medical professionals should they immerse themselves in the suffering person or is the best response a kind of professional detachment? As Joanna Bourke shows in this fascinating investigation people have come up with many different answers to these questions over time & a history of pain can tell us a great deal about how we might respond to our own suffering in the present
- & just as importantly to the suffering of those around us
