Eleanor Davies (1590-1652) was one of the most prolific women
writing in early seventeenth-century England. This volume includes
thirty-eight of the sixty-some prophetic tracts that she published.
Inspired to prophecy by a visionary experience in 1625, the year of
Charles I's accession to the throne, she devoted herself to warning
her contemporaries that the Day of Judgement was imminent. Her zeal
and her intricately constructed tracts confounded contemporaries
who called her mad. She experienced repeated imprisonment and also
confinement to Bedlam, London's mental hospital. The tracts tell
her own story as woman and prophet. They offer an opportunity to
study her experiences as wife, mother, and widow; they also exhibit
her extraordinary intellect, extensive education, and fascination
with words. In showing how England's history was fulfilling the
biblical prophecies in the book of Daniel and the book of
Revelation, she commented about the political and religious
controversies of the turbulent period preceding and during the
English Civil War and Revolution.
