The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift, D. D. With Notes, Historical and Critical, Vol. 18 of 19 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This text explores the concept of 'bathos', or anti-sublime, in poetry. It examines the purposeful use of stylistic devices to achieve a low and ludicrous effect, contrasting it with the classical notion of elevation and grandeur. The book argues that bathos is not merely a flaw, but a deliberate technique employed by authors to evoke laughter, surprise, or ironic commentary. Through a comprehensive analysis of examples from English literature, the author traces the development of bathos and its impact on poetic expression. This witty and incisive examination challenges conventional views on literary aesthetics, revealing the complexities and contradictions that define our understanding of taste and artistic value.
