New Issue of 19: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long
Nineteenth Century
We are pleased to announce that the new issue of 19:
Interdisciplinary Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century is now available at
<http://19.bbk.ac.uk/index.php/19/index>
This issue of 19, guest edited by Joanna Bourke, Louise
Hide, and Carmen Mangion, examines the meaning of pain - for sufferers,
physicians, and other witnesses - in the nineteenth century. Articles by social
and cultural historians, and by literary scholars, discuss the implications of
shifting discourses in personal
narratives, in religious communities, and in philosophical, medical, and
psychiatric texts. Analysing language in
the diverse theories of the period, this issue extends and deepens our
understanding of the complex interaction between the body, mind, and culture in
order to gain insight into the ever-changing subjective experience of pain.
