Full Description


This study presents a descriptive and analytical account of Quaker symbols, from their origins to the peresnt day. The rejection of social norms is set in the context of 17th century Britain where it aroused the hostility of the state and the people. It shows symbols that played a significant role in the formation of the sect out of an individualistic movement, and the structure of an organization which remains basically the same today and which continues to practice minimal ritual.
