Prophecy and millennial speculation are often seen as having played
a key role in early European engagements with the new world, from
Columbus's use of the predictions of Joachim of Fiore, to the
puritan 'Errand into the Wilderness'. Yet examinations of such
ideas have sometimes presumed an overly simplistic application of
these beliefs in the lives of those who held to them. This book
explores the way in which prophecy and eschatological ideas
influenced poets, politicians, theologians, and ordinary people in
the Atlantic world from the sixteenth to the late eighteenth
century. Chapters cover topics ranging from messianic claimants to
the Portuguese crown to popular prophetic almanacs in
eighteenth-century New England; from eschatological ideas in the
poetry of George Herbert and Anne Bradstreet, to the prophetic
speculation surrounding the Evangelical revivals. It highlights the
ways in which prophecy and eschatology played a key role in the
early modern Atlantic world.
