Related to ideas of the great, the awe-inspiring and the
overpowering, the sublime has been debated for centuries amongst
writers, artists, philosophers and theorists and has become a
complex yet crucial concept in many disciplines. In this thoroughly
updated edition, Philip Shaw looks at: Early modern and
post-Romantic conceptions of the sublime in two brand new chapters
The legacy of the earliest classical theories, through those of the
long eighteenth century to modernist, postmodernist and avant-garde
conceptions of the sublime Critical Introductions to major
theorists of the sublime such as Longinus, Burke, Kant,
Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, Derrida, Lyotard, Lacan and Zizek The
significance of the concept through a range of literary readings,
including the Old and New Testaments, Homer, Milton and writing
from the Romantic period to the present day How the concept of the
sublime has affected other art forms such as painting and film,
from abstract expressionism to David Lynch's neo-noir The influence
of the sublime on recent debates in the fields of politics,
theology and psychoanalysis. Offering historical overviews and
explanations, this remarkably clear study is essential reading for
students of literature, critical and cultural theory.
