The early Quaker movement was remarkable for its prolific use of
the printing press. Carefully orchestrated by a handful of men and
women who were the movement's leaders, printed tracts were an
integral feature of the rapid spread of Quaker ideas in the 1650s.
Drawing on very rich documentary evidence, this book examines how
and why Quakers were able to make such effective use of print. As a
crucial element in an extensive proselytising campaign, printed
tracts enabled the emergence of the Quaker movement as a uniform,
national phenomenon. The book explores the impressive organization
underpinning Quaker pamphleteering and argues that the early
movement should not be dismissed as a disillusioned spiritual
remnant of the English Revolution, but was rather a purposeful
campaign which sought, and achieved, effective dialogue with both
the body politic and society at large.
