Vacillating between the longue duree and microhistory, between
ideological critique and historical sympathy, between the contrary
formalisms of close and distant reading, literary historians
operate with such disparate senses of what the term "history" means
that the field risks compartmentalization and estrangement. The
Romantic Historicism to Come engages this uncertainty in order to
construct a more robust, more capacious idea of history. Focusing
attention on Romantic conceptions of history's connection to the
future, The Romantic Historicism to Come examines the complications
of not only Romantic historicism, but also our own contemporary
critical methods: what would it mean if the causal assumptions that
underpin our historical judgments do not themselves develop in a
stable, progressive manner? Articulating history's minimum
conditions, Jonathan Crimmins develops a theoretical apparatus that
accounts for the concurrent influence of the various
sociohistorical forces that pressure each moment. He provides a
conception of history as open to radical change without severing
its connection to causality, better addressing the problem of the
future at the heart of questions about the past.
