OED: Futurism

[faustus]

Some of you have access to electronic OEDs. I wonder if you be so kind as to tell who the citation for "futurism" in 1842 is - supposibly it's a reference to Christian Eschatology, and the quote would be useful. Anything earlier than 1842?

Thanks, I'd clearly mangled the two terms in my head - 1909 is presumably Marinetti.

Not in sources in English, apparently:
1909 Daily Chron. 5 May 6/6 ‘Futurism’ is the declaration of the new school of literature grounded by the International Review ‘Poesia’.

I guess the OED isn't going to cite Italian newspapers and such like. Not such if Poesia links up to that - but I suspect that this is off the map. (Three days buried in four flavours of eschatology is enough). Thanks again.

"not sure" not "not such"
