About The Book

This groundbreaking study reveals the distinctive impact of apocalyptic ideas about time evil and power on church and society in the Latin West c.400c.1050. Drawing on evidence from late antiquity the Frankish kingdoms Anglo-Saxon England Spain and Byzantium and sociological models James Palmer shows that apocalyptic thought was a more powerful part of mainstream political ideologies and religious reform than many historians believe. Moving beyond the standard ''Terrors of the Year 1000'' The Apocalypse in the Early Middle Ages opens up broader perspectives on heresy the Antichrist and Last World Emperor legends chronography and the relationship between eschatology and apocalypticism. In the process it offers reassessments of the worlds of Augustine Gregory of Tours Bede Charlemagne and the Ottonians providing a wide-ranging and up-to-date survey of medieval apocalyptic thought. This is the first full-length English-language treatment of a fundamental and controversial part of medieval religion and society.
