ABSTRACT
The religious politics of the long Reformation sent refugees and exiles across Europe and the globe. While contexts for exclusion are always shaped by time and place, it is often the commonalities of exile experience more than the commonalities of creed that define emotional communities of exiles as they mobilize, name, communicate and regulate the experience. The immediate experience of exclusion often unites Jews, Catholics, Calvinists, and Radicals, even if their processing of those feelings serves to harden boundaries. These dynamics and paradoxes raise further questions about emotions as drivers and responses in early modern religious conflict, exile, and exclusion.
