About This Item
4th Estate 2000. 2000. Softcover. 8vo. Paperback. 388pp. Index. remainder stipe at bottom page edges otherwise very good. Ann Lee's transformation from illiterate Mancunian blacksmith's daughter to soveriegn pontiff of a thriving New England sect is one of the more bizarre and fascinating byways of Anglo-American history. These heady days of Shakerism are unlikely to be better depicted than in this book, with its meticulously researched account of the heroic, indomitable, mesmerising, chastity-obsessed and ultimately rather ghastly woman. .
