This volume examines the evolution of representations of the future, from medieval conceptions poised between the threat of apocalypse and the promise of salvation to progressive visions oriented toward a radiant future—visions that failed to withstand the dramatic upheavals of the twentieth century or the crises of the twenty-first. Our age paints a resolutely bleak picture of the future; we must learn to hope once again.
