In 1625, Lady Eleanor Davies' life took a dramatic turn when, by her account in 1641, a 'Heavenly voice' told her 'There is Nineteen years and a half to the day of Judgement, and you as the meek Virgin'. That same year she published her first treatise, "A Warning to the Dragon", initiating her controversial career as a writer of prophetic tracts. Between 1641 and 1652 she would produce some 66 of them, using the Bible to gauge the cosmic significance of events, great and small, taking place in her nation and in her personal life. They focus on a complex of personal and political events that Lady Eleanor thought indicated the fast approach of the 'last days' foretold by the biblical prophets Daniel and John of Patmos. A complement to Teresa Feroli's facsimile edition of Eleanor Davies' pre-1640 texts (Ashgate, 2000), this pair of volumes reproduces 60 texts from the corpus of 66 printed between 1641 and 1652.
