Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. "Longinus on the Sublime" is a cornerstone of classical literary theory and one of the most influential works on the nature of artistic greatness. This ancient Greek treatise investigates the concept of "the sublime," defining it as the quality of language that transports an audience and creates a sense of awe or profound emotion. Moving beyond the technicalities of rhetoric, the author explores the spiritual and intellectual foundations of powerful writing, identifying five principal sources of sublimity: grandeur of thought, vigorous and inspired passion, the effective use of figures, noble diction, and dignified word arrangement.Through a series of insightful comparisons and examples from authors such as Homer and Demosthenes, the work offers a timeless exploration of what makes literature truly exceptional. This text remains essential reading for students of rhetoric, philosophy, and aesthetics, providing a profound meditation on the relationship between style, genius, and the enduring power of the written word.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
