The Pain of Reformation argues that Edmund Spenser's 1590 Faerie Queene examines emerging notions of vulnerability in Renaissance England. This book approaches sensation through the aesthetics of the vulnerable body, explores the emergence of notions of shared vulnerability, and illuminates a constellation of masculinity, sexuality, and ethics in post-Reformation England.
