Whereas Romanticism is well known for its relation to the past, Emily Rohrbach situates Romantic epistemological uncertainties in relation to historiographical debates that opened up a radically unpredictable and fast- approaching future. As the rise of periodization made the project of defining the ?spirit of the age? increasingly urgent, the changing sense of futurity rendered the historical dimensions of the present deeply elusive. While historicist critics often are interested in what Romantic writers and their readers would have known, Rohrbach draws attention to moments when these writers felt they could not know the historical dimensions of their own age. Illuminating the poetic strategies Keats, Austen, Byron, and Hazlitt used to convey that sense of mystery, Rohrbach describes a poetic grammar of future anteriority?of uncertainty concerning what will have been. Romantic writers, she shows, do not simply reflect the history of their time; their works make imaginable a new way of thinking the historical present when faced with the temporalities of modernity. 410 0$aLit z. 606 $aHISTORY / Historiography$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry$2bisacsh 606 $aPoetics$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPoetics$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTime in literature 606 $aLiterature and history$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y18th century 606 $aEnglish literature$y18th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aRomanticism$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHISTORY / Historiography. 615 0$aLITERARY CRITICISM / European / English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh. 615 0$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Poetry. 615 0$aPoetics$xHistory 615 0$aPoetics$xHistory 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTime in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aRomanticism 676 $a820.9/145 700 $aRohrbach$b Emily$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01045148 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910478920703321 996 $aModernity's Mist$92471181 997 $aUNINA
