This collection of new essays examines the long-standing question
of apocalyptic expectations around the turn of the first
millennium. Including works by scholars of medieval history,
literature, and religion, this book argues that apocalyptic
expectations did exist around the year 1000. It provides a more
balanced and nuanced approach to the issue than the traditional
views that either identify a time of fear, the 'terrors of the year
1000', or deny that awareness of the millennium existed. This book,
instead, recognizes that there were a variety of responses to the
eschatological years 1000 and 1033 and that these responses
contributed to the broader social and religious developments
associated with the birth of European civilization.
