Cultures of the Sublime: Selected Readings, 1750-1830 :- Recovers a broader context for engagements with, and writing about, the sublime- Offers a selection of texts from a wide range of ostensibly unrelated areas of knowledge which both generate and investigate sublime effects- Considers writings about mountains, money, crowds, the Gothic, the exotic and the human mind- Contextualises and supports the extracts with detailed editorial commentaryAlso featuring helpful suggestions for further reading, this is an ideal resource for anyone seeking a fresh, up-to-date assessment of the sublime.>
