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.
