Frassetto, Michael

SUMMARY

This collection of new essays examines the long-standing question of apocalyptic expectations around the turn of the first millennium. Including works by scholars of medieval history, literature, and religion, this book argues that apocalyptic expectations did exist around the year 1000. It provides a more balanced and nuanced approach to the issue than the traditional views that either identify a time of fear, the "terrors of the year 1000," or deny that awareness of the millennium existed. This book, instead, recognizes that there were a variety of responses to the eschatological years 1000 and 1033 and that these responses contributed to the broader social and religious developments associated with the birth of European civilization.Frassetto, Michael is the author of 'Year 1000 Religious and Social Response to the Turning of the First Millennium', published 2002 under ISBN 9781403960290 and ISBN 1403960291.
