More DescriptionContinuing the ground-breaking first volume's emphasis on Kirtland Restorationists, Part A of the second volume describes the particular textual practices that pinned their readings of the Bible onto the pages of the Book of Mormon, and spread that reading across a landscape. This volume also reconstructs how these Restorationist's readings were scattered across the globe under the name "Mormonism" or "the Gospel," as the writings of Parley Pratt were copied, quoted, and fragmented into a thousand elders' voices. This is Part A of Volume Two, which concludes with Part B, Follies Epic and Novel. A preview of B is included here.
