In 1654, Anna Trapnel -- a Baptist, Fifth Monarchist, millenarian,
and visionary from London -- fell into a trance during which she
prophesied passionately and at length against Oliver Cromwell and
his government. The prophecies attracted widespread public
attention, and resulted in an invitation to travel to Cornwall. Her
Report and Plea, republished here for the first time, is a lively
and engaging firsthand account of the visit, which concluded in her
arrest, a court hearing, and imprisonment. Part memoir, part
travelogue, and part impassioned defense of her beliefs and
actions, the Report and Plea offers vivid and fascinating insight
into the life and times of an early modern woman claiming her place
at the center of the tumultuous political events of
mid-seventeenth-century England.
