Exploring the varied depictions and descriptions of pain - from martyrdom narratives to practices of torture and surgery - this title attempts to decode this culture of suffering in the Middle Ages. It presents the cacophony of howls emerging from the written record of physicians, torturers, theologians, and mystics.
