ISBN: 9781930464063.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVirginia Woolf observes that though illness is part of every human beings experience, it has rarely been the focus of literature - like the more acceptable subjects of war and love. We cannot quote Shakespeare to describe a headache. We must, Woolf says, invent language to describe pain. Illness enhances our perceptions and, she observes, it reduces self-consciousness, it is \"the great confessional.\" Throughout On Being Ill, Woolf discusses the taboos associated with illness, and she explores how illness transforms experience and changes our relationship to the world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Paris Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952650055733,"sku":"ByrdShop_1930464061","price":90.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781930464063_cc4c6693-6aaf-4b98-ad15-7d73942e2068.jpg?v=1778899151","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/on-being-ill-9781930464063","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
