Lively and deeply productive discussions have focused on the
topics of "magnificence" and "the sublime" in the art and
literature of antiquity, the Renaissance, and the ages following.
They have engaged major figures from Ernst Gombrich to Theodore
Adorno to Jean-Francois Lyotard. Yet, these discussions have
virtually bypassed the Middle Ages. The essays in "Magnificence and
the Sublime in Medieval Aesthetics" reclaim a position for the
medieval period in the theoretical discussion of art, architecture,
music, and literature. These analyses of an aesthetic of grandeur
show an artistic practice in the Middle Ages that strove for and
celebrated grand effects.
