The Apocalypse in England: Revelation Unravelling, 1700-1834 by C. Burdon Hardco

Description: The Apocalypse in England by C. Burdon The Apocalypse of John is perhaps the most alluring and dangerous text in any scripture. Yet in the post-Christian re-writings of Revelation by Shelley and Blake, Johns own dynamic of unveiling comes to life, subverting the structures of power and reading built on the visions of Patmos. FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The Apocalypse of John is perhaps the most alluring and dangerous text in any scripture. This study looks at English responses to it in political pamphlets and scholarly exegesis, in poetry and preaching and visual art. Those who set out to find enduring meaning in the book failed. Yet in the post-Christian re-writings of Revelation by Shelley and Blake, Johns own dynamic of unveiling comes to life, subverting the structures of power and reading built on the visions of Patmos.
