What
did eighteenth-century men and women think about when they contemplated
the future? What was hidden in the «dark bosom of futurity», as
Richardson’s Pamela calls it? Do all types of literature that supply a
critique of the present conjure up an idealized past or a vision of a
better future? Predictions and prophecies – not only astrological but
also political ones, utopian models, theological concepts like
predestination, progress in the sciences, and, last but not least,
life-after-death, both in the form of secular fame and the immortal
soul, are among the topics addressed by the essays collected in this
volume.
