{"product_id":"romantic-historicism-to-come","title":"Romantic Historicism to Come","description":"\u003cp\u003eVacillating between the \u003ci\u003elongue durée\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Romantic Historicism to Come\u003c\/i\u003e engages this uncertainty in order to construct a more robust, more capacious idea of history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFocusing attention on Romantic conceptions of history’s connection to the future, \u003ci\u003eThe Romantic Historicism to Come\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54218203955544,"sku":"9781501359149","price":42.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501359149.jpg?v=1743749138","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/romantic-historicism-to-come","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
