Description
This critical anthology examines the place of the sublime in the cultural history of the late eighteenth century and Romantic period. Cultures of the Sublime recovers a broad context for engagements with, and writing about, the sublime, offering a selection of texts from a wide range of areas which both generate and investigate sublime effects.
Reviews / Votes
"This wide-ranging anthology offers a fresh approach to the concept of the sublime. Looking beyond the traditional aesthetic definitions of Longinus and Kant, the editors divide the book into six key themes connected with sublime effect: mountains, money, mind, Gothic, crowds and the exotic ... The collection will appeal to specialists and students alike." - Forum for Modern Language StudiesMore details
