A piercing call to conscience and wonder, The Day Of Doom invites readers to walk the line between fear and faith, and to find clarity in a grand spiritual vision. This restored edition gathers Michael Wigglesworth's 17th¿century devotional verse into a refined, accessible form for today's readers. The collection blends didactic religious poetry with lyric invention, offering a vivid portrait of colonial New England's piety and daily struggle with sin, salvation, and doom. Beyond a historical curiosity, it speaks with a timeless urgency about judgment day themes, grace, and human frailty, making it a compelling entry point for both casual readers and classic¿literature collectors. Historically significant as a cornerstone of colonial american poetry, the work illuminates Puritan sensibilities and the era's literary ambitions while its metre and rhetoric invite modern readers to hear an old voice with fresh attention. It functions as a devotional verse collection and a scholarly touchstone, enriching any exploration of 17th century literature and edifying sermon poetry. Selling points knit the past to the present: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A lasting invitation to compare conscience, culture, and art across centuries.
