Abstract "Investigating a broad transatlantic archive of religious literature, historical medical science, and philosophies of sensation from the middle of the 17th-century, this book explores how Puritan America contemplated pain and ascribed meaning to it in writing at this time. Focusing on pain as it emerged from spaces of inchoate settlement and colonial violence, he provides new understandings of early American nationalism and connected racial tropes which persist today"-- Provided by publisher.
