The Shakers: A Bibliography comprises more than 17,500 entries for printed materials by and about the United Society of Believers in Christ’s Second Appearing, more commonly called Shakers. This work more than quadruples the number of entries contained in Mary Richmond’s Shaker Literature (1977), the standard bibliography on the Shakers until now. The product of fifteen years of painstaking research by a team of bibliographers, The Shakers: A Bibliography comprehensively documents the written record of this remarkably influential communal Christian sect. Each entry provides publication information, annotation and commentary, and holdings information. Additionally, brief biographies are provided for a number of Shaker authors. The Shakers: A Bibliography provides scholars with a tremendous amount of new source material and information to undergird future research and writing about the United Society.
