The The Shaker Experience in America: A History of the United Society of Believers It's feature Established near Albany, N.Y. in 1787 as a religious society, the early Shaker community, led by founder Ann Lee, lived in insular villages, embracing pacifism and celibacy, having visions and joining in ritual dancing (shaking). In this comprehensive academic history Stein, head of the department of religious studies at Indiana University, provides a revisionist account of Shaker expansion and decline, describing schisms between Shaker enclaves, doctrinal differences and the influence of several charismatic leaders. Although the Shakers' commitment to celibacy seemed to augur their eventual demise, Stein points out that the society at Sabbathday Lake, Maine, is still functioning; a body of contemporary supporters is determined that Shakerism will remain alive.

The Shakers, once a radical religious sect whose members were despised and harassed by their fellow Americans, have in recent years become celebrated--and sentimentalized--for their communal way of life, the simplicity of their worship, their belief in celibacy, pacifism, and equality of the sexes, and not least their superb furniture and handicrafts. This monumental book is the first general history of the Shakers from their origins in eighteenth-century England to the present day.
