Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eA quarter-century after its first publication, \u003ci\u003eA Shopkeeper's Millennium\u003c\/i\u003e remains a landmark work--brilliant both as a new interpretation of the intimate connections among politics, economy, and religion during the Second Great Awakening, and as a surprising portrait of a rapidly growing frontier city. The religious revival that transformed America in the 1820s, making it the most militantly Protestant nation on earth and spawning reform movements dedicated to temperance and to the abolition of slavery, had an especially powerful effect in Rochester, New York. Paul E. Johnson explores the reasons for the revival's spectacular success there, suggesting important links between its moral accounting and the city's new industrial world. In a new preface, he reassesses his evidence and his conclusions in this major work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This is far more than a study of local history, and more even than a provocative interpretation of the social sources of religious revivalism. It is a brilliant pioneering assault upon the most important unaddressed problem in American historiography--how our society and very personalities were transformed by the rapid advance of the capitalist market in the earlier nineteenth century.” —\u003ci\u003eCharles Sellers, University of California, Berkeley\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Johnson's book is indispensable for any understanding of the evangelical revival and related reform movements in New York's 'burned-over' district. No less important, Professor Johnson has brilliantly fused the quantitative methods of the 'new social history' with a sparkling style and an imaginative reconstruction of social reality. Both in substantive conclusions and as a model for future regional studies, \u003ci\u003eA Shopkeeper's Millennium\u003c\/i\u003e is one of the freshest and most exciting books I have read in the past few years.” —\u003ci\u003eDavid Brion Davis, Yale University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780809016358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Hill and Wang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40652254281934,"sku":"9780809016358","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_4448a358-cb6b-4ef7-b456-da8eccb7ddfd.jpg?v=1644844419","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780809016358","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
