Whereas romantic studies often have focused on British Romanticism in its relations to the past-Romanticism as ruins, memory, and mourning - 'Modernity's Mist' draws attention to an understudied aspect: Romanticism's future-oriented poetics. This book explores the epistemological uncertainties that arise from the sense of an unknowable futurity at the outset of the nineteenth century. It situates that uncertainty in relation to an intellectual history of changing concepts of time and to the shifting historiographical debates in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, when the future was newly characterized both by its radical unpredictability and by the unprecedented speed with which it approached.
