Synopsis
This text draws on multidisciplinary sources to explore the universally shared experience of pain. From classical antiquity to the 20th century, it contrasts the different cultural perceptions of pain in each period, as well as the medical theories advanced to explain its mechanisms and the various therapeutic remedies formulated to relieve those suffering from it. This broad historical perspective highlights the transformation in humanity's relationship to pain, chronicles the progress made in its understanding and treatment and explores the little-understood areas that remain to this day.

Etat : as new. Cambridge : Harvard University Press, 1995. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 394 pp. Feared by most, sought out by others, pain may manifest itself as a benevolent messenger warning of imminent danger or a repellent nemesis that undermines and incapacitates us. Throughout the ages pain has intrigued those who focus on the soul and the sacred in equal measure to those who specialize in the body and medicine. In The History of Pain, Roselyne Rey draws on multidisciplinary sources to explore this universally shared experience. From classical antiquity to the twentieth century, she contrasts the different cultural perceptions of pain in each period, as well as the medical theories advanced to explain its mechanisms, and the various therapeutic remedies formulated to relieve those suffering from it. This broad historical perspective, both accurate and remarkably erudite, highlights the extraordinary transformation in humanity's relationship to pain, chronicles the considerable progress made in its understanding and treatment, and explores the shadowy areas of mystery which remain to this day.
