"An account of the role of millennial thinking in the age of the American Revolution this book demonstrates the popularity and diffusion of millennial expectations among several types of American Protestants by the middle of the eighteenth century and illuminates the way these hopes shaped the understanding of the Revolution and the symbolic meaning of the new nation. Unlike most previous works this study extends well beyond the social and geographic perimeters of the New England clergy and is based on a wide range of secular as well as religious literature. The book not only sheds new light on the role of religion in the American Revolution but it also surveys an important facet of the intellectual history of the early Republic. Analysing the interplay of millennial republican and Enlightenment ideas about the future the author reveals both complementary and contradictory themes in American thought of an older cultural tradition of millennialism while at the same time tracing variations and changes within that tradition during this formative period of American history."-dj.

"Young and self-confident Rosanne is transplanted from her native New York to New England. She has married into the Porter family and with good-natured curiosity she examines her new relatives -- sound New England stock from north of Boston whose reliability and well-being are explained by the family shoe factory founded by 'Gran' Porter in the early days. But their stiff-necked ways are not her ways; and after the first shattering ecstasy of her love for Alec has subsided she decides to do something about it. Too late the Porter family realize what is going to happen; helplessly they stand and watch." Striking but uncredited dust jacket design. . Harcourt, Brace and Company hardcover books
