Pain and suffering, once associated with punishment for sin, became
regarded as a purposeless evil that was hostile to human welfare.
The works of Thomas Beddoes, Coleridge, and Shelley embody the
change in attitude toward suffering and lay the groundwork for the
general use of anesthesia in modern medicine. Papper contends that
there was no real societal readiness to treat or prevent pain until
the idea of the worth of the common man or woman was established by
the upheaval of the French Revolution. The humanitarian concepts
that we take for granted were relatively recent developments in
Western society and were associated with the recognition of the
importance of the individual.
