| Sumario: | Within the historical studies of Protestantism, a topos links different denominations, Calvinism in particular, with the production of deep and pathological psychological pain. This topic stems from the works of Max Weber, though its origin is older. This article offers an analysis of that theme in the historiography of English Protestantism. In the first place, it describes the progress of the issue in historiography and presents the criticisms it received at different times. Secondly, it showcases recent advances in the history of emotions which could be helpful for a better approach. Lastly, it highlights the need to observe the polemical dimension of discourses about Protestant affliction. It argues that the study of that affliction requires special consideration of the context of production and the specific vocabulary of primary sources. |
