Solitude and the Sublime: Romanticism and the Aesthetics of Individuation

Portada
Psychology Press, 1992 - 177 páginas
As interest in aesthetic experience evolved in the eighteenth century, discussions of the sublime located two opposed accounts of its place and use. Ferguson traces these two positions - the Burkean empiricist account and the Kantian formalist one - to argue that they had significance of aesthetics, including recent deconstructive and New Historicist criticism.
