Description
The Sublime by Philip Shaw This comprehensive study explores one of the most enduring and complex concepts in Western thought: the sublime. From its earliest classical theories to modernist, postmodernist, and avant-garde conceptions, Shaw examines the significance of the sublime across various disciplines. Through a range of literary readings, including works from the Old and New Testaments, Homer, Milton, and writing from the Romantic period to the present day, Shaw sheds light on how the concept has influenced art forms such as painting and film. He also delves into its impact on recent debates in politics, theology, and psychoanalysis. A clear and concise guide for students of literature, critical theory, and cultural studies, this updated edition offers a remarkably accessible overview of the sublime's historical development and ongoing relevance.
