| Sumario: | Within the historical studies on Protestantism, there is a common topos that links different denominations, specifically Calvinism, with the production of a deep and pathological psychological pain. Although the origin of this topic is not new, its persistence in scholarly writing stems largely from the works of Max Weber. This article offers an analysis of that topic in the historiography of English Protestantism. In the first place, the paper will portray the treatment given by the historiography, considering the criticisms it received at different times. Secondly, it will expose recent advances in the field of history of emotions that could suggest a better approach. It will also highlight the need to observe the polemical dimension within the discourses about Protestant affliction. Finally, it will argue that the study of that affliction requires a special consideration of the context of production, and of the specific vocabulary of the primary sources. |
