THE BODY IN PAIN IN IRISH LITERATURE AND CULTUR...

This book elucidates the ways the pained and suffering body has been registered and mobilized
in specifically Irish contexts across more than four hundred years of literature and culture.
There is no singular approach to what pain means: the material addressed in this collection
covers diverse cultural forms  from reports of battles and executions to stage and screen
representations of sexual violence  produced in response to different historical circumstances
in terms that confirm our understanding of how pain - whether endured or inflicted  witnessed
or remediated - is culturally coded.Pain is as open to ongoing redefinition as the Ireland that
features in all of the essays gathered here. This collection offers new paradigms for
understanding Ireland's literary and cultural history.
