The years of 1843-1844 were marked by religious enthusiasm and hysteria in New England, stemming from the anticipated Second Coming and the end of the world, as predicted by William Miller (1782-1849), a clergyman from Poultney Vermont. The movement would become known as Millerism, and Protestant sects including the Seventh-Day Adventists would carry on his teachings.** Clara Endicott Sears (1863-1960), of wealthy Yankee ancestry, was a philanthropist and preservationist who worked near Harvard Massachusetts. For this psychological portrait of a particular (and peculiar) episode of New England history, Sears solicited recollections from those who lived through the Great Expectation and the Great Disappointment. Those contributions, in combination with archival research, enabled her to draw a psychological portrait of the period.** First edition. Printed at the Riverside Press, Cambridge MA.
