Abstract: | In spring 1935, one could see groups of jumping, shrieking folk out on northern Sweden's roads. Police sent several to lunatic asylums and children were taken away. This was Korpela Movement, led by young man of 28, who expected God to carry them in ark to Palestine and set up new reign on earth. Disappointed, many took to drunkenness and sexual excess, which is what most remember about them. Author shows how movement was more than this, and linked with worker movements at the time. He describes dramatic and tragic aspects centred around hope of new earth, in which righteousness dwells. |
