From the publisher

The Middle Ages inherited from antiquity a tradition of prophecy and gave it new life. This tradition foretold a millennium in which humanity would enjoy a new paradise on earth, free from suffering and sin. This is the story of those millenarian fanaticisms, and points to their persistence in the modern era.

From the rear cover

This fascinating book explores the millenarianism that flourished in Western Europe between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries.
