Past Finding Out: The Tragic Story of Joanna Southcott and Her Successors Balleine, G.R.
The Macmillan Company 1956 No ISBN Hard Cover Good Minus Condition Fair
151 pages. Ex-library with typical marks, wear to edges, solid reading copy. The dj is creased, worn at edges; glued inside boards. "Joanna Southcutt, a devout countrywoman at the end of the 18th century, honestly believed that God was calling her to be a prophetess. A small group of Anglican clergy welcomed in her the restoration of the lost Order of Prophets, and thousands of layfolk became her disciples. Tragically misled, Joanna died broken hearted by the fiasco with which her mission closed. yet the seed she had sown bore fruit. Prophetic movements sprang up like mushrooms, and grew wilder and wilder the farther they wandered from the parent stem. No novelist ever pictured such weird eccentrics as Behemoth Ward, the cobbler, who thought he was Christ; Wrote, the woolcomber, who tried to hammer a Lancashire town into the New Jerusalem; Mary Bateman, the pious poisoner, with her apocalyptic eggs; or Jezreel with his monstrous tower." Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Standard Weight. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Inventory No: 054587. Hardcover
