"The treatise On the Sublime, whose author, conventionally referred to as 'Longinus', wrote under Nero and Vespasian, provides a hermeneutic framework that allows avoiding retrospective interpretations derived from modern aesthetic doctrines. As characterized by 'Longinus', the concept of the sublime sheds new light on the Thebaid and helps to better define the poetic world of Statius' epic. The Thebaid and the treatise share certain crucial features: both defend and illustrate a daring and rule-breaking approach to the poet's creative activity; both focus on rushing passions; both favor situations that go against the audience's beliefs and expectations and thus trigger a response that should encompass feelings of terror and admiration. The sublimity of the Thebaid shows itself in the rapture that seizes the poet and his characters, and in the dramatic depiction of horrible deeds and disruptions of nature. Last but not least, one can rely on the treatise in order to explore the generic interplay that is at work in the Thebaid. Indeed, it turns out that Statius, by developing the topic of tyranny, creates a poetics of passion whose tragic dimension clashes with the norms of epic diction and the traditional treatment of heroism. This liberty taken with genre membership accounts for the complex portrayal of characters and actions."--

Im Kontext der Debatten um die Postmoderne erlebte die Kategorie des "Erhabenen" seit den 1980er Jahren einen beispiellosen Aufstieg. Als Kehrseite des Schönen ist das Erhabene seither aus keiner ästhetiktheoretischen Debatte mehr wegzudenken. Bezeichnend ist allerdings, daß sich die Diskussion meist auf die Theorien Edmund Burkes und Kants aus der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts beschränkt hat. Was fehlt, ist eine Darstellung der Geschichte des Erhabenen in der Frühen Neuzeit. Diese Forschungslücke möchte die Studie füllen. In sechs Kapiteln rekonstruiert sie die Geschichte des Erhabenheitsbegriffs von der Erstedition des Traktates von Ps.-Longin im 16. Jahrhundert bis zum Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts. Sie geht von der These aus, daß für die Geschichte des Erhabenen vor Burke und Kant nicht die Dichotomie des "Schönen" und "Erhabenen", sondern der Widerstreit zweier gegensätzlicher Konzepte des Sublimen prägend ist: das Erhabene in der Tradition des Ps.-Longin und der erhabene Stil im Rahmen der Dreistillehre der klassischen Rhetorik. Von dieser Opposition eines "doppelten Erhabenen" ausgehend, werden wesentliche Stationen einer spezifisch "modernen" Emanzipation des Erhabenen aus rhetorischen Traditionen dargestellt. Die Studie argumentiert dabei komparatistisch und bezieht insbesondere die Diskussion in Frankreich und England mit ein.

"This is the first new edition in English for more than half a century of one of the most influential works in the entire history of aesthetics, the treatise On the Sublime, whose author is unknown but usually called Longinus. It was On the Sublime which was chiefly responsible, in the early modern period, for giving the vocabulary of 'sublimity' the important place which it has held ever since in critical discourse about literature, visual art, music, and the experience of nature. This edition contains a substantial introduction to the contents of the work; a newly edited Greek text with facing English translation (designed to be both accurate and readable, and therefore of assistance to non-specialists); and a comprehensive commentary which deals with everything from details of language to the work's overarching ideas and arguments. The book undertakes the fullest and most probing engagement with On the Sublime yet attempted in any language. It advances many new interpretations and seeks to make sense of the treatise both as a remarkable document in its own right and in relation to the traditions of ancient Greek and Roman literature, philosophy, and criticism. In addition to supplying all the needs of scholars and students directly concerned with Graeco-Roman culture, the introduction and translation make the book also of value to the many other kinds of readers--philosophers of aesthetics, art-historians, literary critics, historians of ideas, and more besides--who are interested in the ancient origins as well as the modern development of concepts of the sublime."--

Back cover: In this study, Christopher T. Holmes offers an analysis of Hebrews 12:18-29 and its role in the larger argument of Hebrews. It argues that the first-century treatise, De Sublimitate, provides a significant context for interpreting the rhetoric and style of Hebrews and sheds new light on the thought and genre of Hebrews.

"Comprendre ce qu'est véritablement le 15yoç longinien est le préalable de cette enquête archéologique sur la fortune d'un texte énigmatique que l'Antiquité semble ignorer mais que les Humanistes connaissaient parfaitement. Consacré à la réception du Ilepi i5wovç à la Renaissance et à l'Âge classique, l'ouvrage se concentre sur le parallèle entre Cicéron et Démosthène, le torrent et la foudre, qui est le révélateur de cette réception. Cette joute oratoire sans trêve est revisitée par les lecteurs de Longin, notamment Nicolas Caussin et Leone Allacci, dans un seul objectif : placer sur le trône de l'éloquence un seul homme, unique représentant en titre du meilleur orateur."--Page 4 of cover.
