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
