Initially dictated to his step son-in-law when they were imprisoned in the mid 1670’s, Fox’s Journal combines burning rage against social injustice with a visionary sense of God ‘rising’ through all creation and a forthright account of his own persecution and suffering. Written in a style that anticipates the works of James Joyce and other modernists (ie-a challenging read) it is--as Smith writes in his Introduction--not only ‘a classic of spiritual and autobiographical writing, but an important literary achievement in its own right. For this new edition, Nigel Smith has ‘tidied up’ a difficult text to enhance the coherence of the main narrative while retaining the immediacy and excitement of the original. The edition includes four interesting appendices: one being a copy of the Preface William Penn wrote for the first printed edition of the Journal. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

George Fox was the founder of the Society of Friends, and his journal, written during his incarceration, is the central document of Quakerism. This book, written in a style of simplicity and lucidity, describes Fox's religious conversion, his visions, and the persecution of the early Quakers. This is an edited and annotated edition of the journals, incorporating a wide range of recent discoveries about the early history of Quakerism, which has considerable bearing on the way Fox's book was posthumously asssembled.

This edition, first published in 1952, is designed to replace for the general reader the text prepared by Thomas Ellwood first published in 1694 and which has been carried through in subsequent editions without substantial revisions until the 1892 American edition and the 1902 edition published in England. By reassessing the phrasings in these earlier editions and by realigning them more closely with the original manuscripts it is hoped much of the characteristic immediacy and vigour-of-phrase so typical of Fox has been restored.
The Introduction is by Geoffrey Nuttall and the epilogue by Henry J Cadbury.
