In this wide-ranging study in classical reception and the history of ideas, Thomas Matthew Vozar shows how Milton's ideas of the sublime were informed by a deep understanding of Longinus and other ancient sources. The book also demonstrates how Longinus's ideas and writings were far more prevalent in early modern England than previously thought.
