The Sublime in Antiquity (Hardcover)

Current understandings of the sublime are focused by a single word
('sublimity') and by a single author ('Longinus'). The sublime is
not a word: it is a concept and an experience, or rather a whole
range of ideas, meanings and experiences that are embedded in
conceptual and experiential patterns. Once we train our sights on
these patterns a radically different prospect on the sublime in
antiquity comes to light, one that touches everything from its
range of expressions to its dates of emergence, evolution, role in
the cultures of antiquity as a whole, and later reception. This
book is the first to outline an alternative account of the sublime
in Greek and Roman poetry, philosophy, and the sciences, in
addition to rhetoric and literary criticism. It offers new readings
of Longinus without privileging him, but instead situates him
within a much larger context of reflection on the sublime in
antiquity.
