Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book establishes the foundation for understanding rhetoric and literary devices, expanding on the works and teachings of Dr. Blair. It encompasses a range of subjects: the importance of speech and writing, the study of Belles Lettres, the nature of taste, and the sources of its improvement. Through analysis of influential works, from Milton to Addison, the author examines the variations and standards of taste, arguing that it is a cultivated power, not innate. In discussing the sublime in writing, the book emphasizes that true sublimity is found in describing objects or sentiments that are inherently grand and awe-inspiring. The author explores the power of language to evoke a sense of sublimity and the various ways in which writers and orators can achieve this effect, providing valuable insights for those seeking to master these literary techniques. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282602215_0
