Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Shakers were a small communitarian and mystical sect that flourished in the USA from 1770s to the 1890s. However, their cultural significance far outweighs their numerical strength. They had a profound influence on social, political and artistic thought. This book assesses that influence.
