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 with 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. -- .
