In the 1980s the sublime was rediscovered in the context of the
debates on postmodernism. The emphasis here was on the theories of
Burke and Kant, which contrasted beauty and sublimity. Little
attention was accorded to the history of sublimity in the early
modern age. This study seeks to remedy this deficit. It proceeds on
the conviction that in the early modern age the dichotomy between
beauty and sublimity was not in fact the operative factor in the
debate, but rather the opposition between two models of the
sublime, that of Pseudo Longinus, on the one hand, and the three
styles defined by classical rhetoric on the other.
