After The Formation Of The Religious Society Of Friends, Or Quakers, In 1652, Fox And His Associates Suffered Under Brutal Persecution From The English Government. Fox'S Journal, Initially Dictated To His Stepsoninlaw When They Were Both Imprisoned In The Mid1670S, Combines Burning Rage Against Social Injustice And A Visionary Sense Of God Rising Through All Creation With A Forthright Account Of His Own Persecution And Suffering.
