A provocative examination of the concept of the sublime from the
eighteenth century to its reappearance within contemporary
aesthetics and postmodern theory. It delivers a detailed account
that traces the concept from the work of Edward Burke and his
contemporaries through the Romantics and Kant to its reemergence in
the writings of Lyotard and other postmodern thinkers. Although
numerous authors have written books theorizing the sublime, this
text stands alone as the only historical overview. Consequently, it
fills an important gap in the current literature which has seen a
recent explosion in writing about beauty. This is a lucid study
written with wit and clarity. It will also be of great interest to
students and scholars as the most authoritative account of the
subject available.
