Anglo-American Millennialism, from Milton to the Millerites

In this chronologically direct and thematically varied volume, five scholars working in three distinct disciplines approach millennialism and apocalypticism in the British and Anglo-American contexts, making remarkable contributions both to the study of religious, literary and political culture in the English-speaking ecumene. With contributions by Beth Quitslund, Andrew Escobedo, John Howard Smith, Stephen Marini and J.I. Little.
