From the publisher

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.

First line

For historians the year 1000 is usually of interest for one of two reasons: either it serves as a shorthand designation for the debate over la mutation de l'an mil, the argument that the turn of the eleventh century signaled a drastic and dynamic period of social and economic change (or else a slow adjustment to a process of change already substantially underway), or that it served as a focal point for the current stage of the old debate as to whether it did or did not witness widespread concern-even terrors-about the end of the world.
