Abstract

"The nineteenth century introduced developments in science and medicine that made the eradication of pain conceivable for the first time. This new understanding of pain brought with it a complex set of moral and philosophical dilemmas. If pain serves no obvious purpose, how do we reconcile its existence with a well-ordered universe? Examining how writers of the day engaged with such questions, Victorian Pain offers a compelling new literary and philosophical history of modern pain. Rachel Ablow provides close readings of novelists Charlotte Brontë and Thomas Hardy and political and natural philosophers John Stuart Mill, Harriet Martineau, and Charles Darwin, as well as a variety of medical, scientific, and popular writers of the Victorian age. She explores how discussions of pain served as investigations into the status of persons and the nature and parameters of social life. No longer conceivable as divine trial or punishment, pain in the nineteenth century came to seem instead like a historical accident suggesting little or nothing about the individual who suffers. A landmark study of Victorian literature and the history of pain, Victorian Pain shows how these writers came to see pain as a social as well as a personal problem. Rather than simply self-evident to the sufferer and unknowable to anyone else, pain was also understood to be produced between persons--and even, perhaps, by the fictions they read. "--

Abstract

"La douleur, qu’il s’agisse de la sienne ou de celle des autres, est l’une des thématiques majeures de l’art épistolaire. Lorsqu’il s’agit de la douleur physique et de ses manifestations, médecine et philosophie s’y croisent, notamment lorsqu’il est question de rechercher des remèdes. La souffrance morale est aussi traitée, dans une perspective qui embrasse à la fois les sources et les convictions religieuses, sociales et culturelles.Les lettres offrent plusieurs cas de figure et d’espoirs de réponse : puissance ou impuissance de la correspondance – et plus largement de l’art – contre le mal intérieur, utilisation des épîtres au service d’une thérapie dont l’homme se veut le seul objet, recours à la divinité dans une économie du salut. Le deuil, enfin, qu’il s’agisse de drames aussi célèbres que Catulle et la perte de son frère, Cicéron et celle de sa fille Tullia, ouvre la porte au genre de la consolatio : messages chrétiens insérés dans le cadre de la foi, angoisse de la mort compensée par la croyance en l’au-delà, richesse du mysticisme venant au secours de la peur inhérente à notre condition mortelle."

Abstract

This book offers a cross-disciplinary approach to pain and suffering in the early modern period, based on research in the fields of literary studies, art history, theatre studies, cultural history and the study of emotions. The volume's two-fold approach to the hurt body, defining 'hurt' from the perspectives of both victim and beholder - as well as their combined creation of a gaze - is unique. It establishes a double perspective about the riddle of 'cruel' viewing by tracking the shifting cultural meanings of victims' bodies, and confronting them to the values of audiences, religious and popular institutional settings and practices of punishment. It encompasses both the victim's presence as an image or performed event of pain and the conundrum of the look - the transmitted 'pain' experienced by the watching audience.
