Spiritual Wives is a book written by William Hepworth Dixon, first published in 1868. The book is a study of the practice of spiritual wifery, a form of polygamy that was prevalent among certain religious groups in the mid-19th century. Dixon examines the origins and beliefs of these groups, including the Mormons and the Shakers, and explores the social and cultural factors that led to the rise of spiritual wifery. He also looks at the experiences of women who were involved in these relationships, and the impact that spiritual wifery had on their lives and on society as a whole. The book is a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of American religious history, and provides a thought-provoking commentary on the nature of marriage, sexuality, and gender roles.The Book Deals With The Great Revival Of Religious Fervor That Swept The United States In The First Part Of The Nineteenth Century. Particularly Acute In Upstate New York, It Gave Rise To, Among Other Sects, The Shakers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
