Literary usage of the term “foreknowledge” reveals a rich engagement with questions of destiny, divine omniscience, and human free will. In classical and medieval texts, foreknowledge is most often intertwined with theological and philosophical debates: Boethius and Cicero, for instance, discuss how God's complete knowledge of future events challenges ordinary human reasoning and freedom [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], while Saint Augustine grapples with reconciling divine foresight with human choice [10], [11], [12], [13]. Beyond these metaphysical inquiries, writers like Snorri Sturluson and the compilers of the Mabinogion utilize foreknowledge to foreground the inevitability of fate in heroic and mythic narratives [14], [15], and Jane Austen even touches on it to convey a sense of impending events in more personal terms [16]. The multifaceted employment of “foreknowledge” underscores its role as a critical tool for exploring the tension between predetermined destiny and the unfolding of human history, a debate that continues to resonate across diverse literary genres.
