The Apocalyptic Year 1000

The Apocalyptic Year 1000: Religious Expectation and Social Change, 950-1050Oxford University Press, USA ISBN:0195161629 2003 PDF 1.9MB 370 p.

The essays in this book challenge prevailing views on the way in which apocalyptic concerns contributed to larger processes of social change at the first millennium. Several basic questions unify the essays: What chronological and theological assumptions underlay apocalyptic and millennial speculations around the Year 1000? How broadly disseminated were those speculations? Can we speak of a mentality of apocalyptic hopes and anxieties on the eve of the millennium? If so, how did authorities respond to or even contribute to the formation of this mentality? What were the social ramifications of apocalyptic hopes and anxieties, and of any efforts to suppress or redirect the more radical impulses that bred them? How did contemporaries conceptualize and then historicize the passing of the millennial date of 1000? Including the work of British, French, German, Dutch, and American scholars, this book will be the definitive resource on this fascinating topic, and should at the same time provoke new interest in and debate on the nature and causes of social change in early medieval Europe.

'Superb and meticulous scholarship makes this ... a particularly exciting set of essays ... innovative and fascinating. Unreservedly recommended.' - The Lecturer 'In terms both of the selection of the contributions and the provision of contextualizing information, this volume is a model of its kind, which should prove immensely valuable not only for students but also for practitioners in the field of Soviet history.'
Maureen Perrie,
”Stalinism is a controversial new addition to the current debates related to the history of the Stalinist period of the Soviet Union. Sheila Fitzpatrick has collected together not only the classics of the revisionist period but also new work by young Russian, American and European scholars, in an attempt to reassess this contentious and deeply politicized subject.The articles are contextualized by a thorough introduction to the totalitarian/revisionist arguments. Avoiding an exclusively political focus, the book draws together work on class, identity, gender, work and agency.
