This eloquent book examines the relationship between strong emotions and forms of art. Though once considered merely a piece of Burke's juvenilia, it is now viewed as both an influential precursor to Burke's later political writings and one of the first major works in European literature on the Sublime--a subject that has fascinated philosophers and literary critics since the eighteenth century.
