Description
Hurt and Pain: Literature and the Suffering Body explores how authors have portrayed bodies in pain across various literary genres from the 17th century to the present day. Susannah B. Mintz examines the ways in which pain is represented, shaped by genre conventions and formal choices.
Through readings of canonical writers such as John Donne, Emily Dickinson, and Samuel Beckett, alongside contemporary authors like Ana Castillo and Margaret Edson, Mintz reveals how literature can transform our understanding of physical suffering. By examining the language of pain in different genres, she offers a nuanced perspective on the role of pain in crafting human experience.
