By Charlotte Cushman and Aquilla Bolton

Book Overview

Some Lines In Verse About Shakers: Not Published By Authority Of The Society So Called is a book of poetry written by Charlotte Cushman in 1846. The poems are about the Shakers, a religious group known for their celibacy, communal living, and ecstatic dancing. The book was not published with the approval of the Shaker community, and Cushman's poems offer a critical perspective on their beliefs and practices. The poems explore themes of gender, sexuality, and spirituality, and offer a unique glimpse into the world of the Shakers from an outsider's perspective. Overall, Some Lines In Verse About Shakers is a fascinating and thought-provoking work of poetry that sheds light on an often-misunderstood religious community.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
