Joseph Smith's Gold Plates: A Cultural History
-
New York
-
Oxford University Press
-
"In this book, renowned historian of Mormonism Richard Lyman Bushman offers a cultural history of the gold plates. Bushman examines how the plates have been imagined by both believers and critics-- and by treasure-seekers, critics, novelists, artists, scholars, and others-- from Smith's first encounter with them to the present. Why have they been remembered, and how have they been used? And why do they remain objects of fascination to this day? By examining these questions, Bushman sheds new light on Mormon history and on the role of enchantment in the modern world." [From book flap]
