By Elizabeth Braithwaite Emmott

Book Overview

""A Short History of Quakerism: Earlier Periods"" by Elizabeth Braithwaite Emmott is a concise overview of the origins and development of the Quaker movement from its beginnings in the 17th century to the early 19th century. Emmott, herself a Quaker, provides a detailed account of the key figures, events, and beliefs that shaped Quakerism during this period. She explores the movement's origins in the radical religious and social upheavals of the English Civil War, the emergence of Quakerism as a distinct religious tradition, and the challenges faced by Quakers as they sought to establish themselves in a world that was often hostile to their beliefs and practices. The book also examines the role of Quakers in the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements, and their contributions to the development of modern pacifism. Written in a clear and accessible style, ""A Short History of Quakerism: Earlier Periods"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of this important religious tradition.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
