Inspired to prophesy by a visionary experience in 1625 (the year of Charles I's accession), Eleanor Davies devoted the remainder of her life to the prolific production of eschatological tracts. Her extraordinary intellect and extensive education are reflected in the intricate construction of the pieces, which offer commentary on a number of the political and religious controversies surrounding the English Civil War and Revolution.
