A History of the End of the World

The Apocalypse in Popular Culture

Beschreibung

People have always imagined that human history has an end point. The way this has been imagined has varied according to time, place, and culture. In medieval England people lived in expectation of the Biblical Day of Judgment, when the world would end and people would be judged by God according to their sins.
