Description
On the Sublime is a Roman-era Greek work of literary criticism that explores the nature of good writing and its effects. Dating back to the 1st century AD, this treatise examines examples of effective and ineffective writing from the previous millennium, with a particular focus on what can lead to the sublime.
The author's identity has been the subject of debate for centuries, although the oldest surviving manuscript suggests that the work was originally attributed to "Dionysius or Longinus". Despite various interpretations over time, the true author remains unknown. This enigmatic text continues to be studied by scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.
