Longinus in England bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts (Classic Reprint) (German Edition) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the influence of Greek philosopher Longinus on English literary criticism from the mid-1600s through the 1700s. The author examines how Longinus's treatise On the Sublime—in particular, his emphasis on the role of genius and emotion in great writing—resonated with English writers and critics during a time of great literary ferment. The book traces the reception of Longinus's work in England, from its initial obscurity to its widespread influence on major literary figures such as John Dryden, Alexander Pope, and Samuel Johnson. By examining the ways in which English writers adapted and transformed Longinus's ideas, the author sheds light on the development of English literary theory and criticism and provides a valuable resource for scholars and students of literature and intellectual history.
