Long abstractI hate manifestos. They are so yesterday.Blast the manifesto! Its revolutionary impulse is, as James Simpson observesabout a wholly different phenomenon and time period, to do withthe desire for a clean break between thenand now, a break in which the past is itself created “by being made very dark, wholly repellent, and sharply different from the bril-liant new present.”1I don’t believe in the revolutionary breakor the brilliant new present, although I’m with John Ball, that things have to change: “God doe bote, for now is time.” The manifesto is always timely.Sobless the manifesto! Whatever. I also hate the credo. I believe in things, but not in that abso-lute way.
