Abstract
This essay considers the different modes of transmission of political and spiritual prophecy and petitions during the English Civil War and Interregnum periods. The careers of Arise Evans, Grace Carrie, and other radical prophets provide a richer context for understanding the importance to seventeenth-century writers and their audiences of both oral performance and manuscript practices during the so-called "print revolution." Such print performance texts, which both record oral performance and in their formats mirror it, remind us of the complicated interchanges between oral performance, handwritten documents, and printed pages.
