Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an ancient, but highly respected, scholar explores humankind's search for the powerful and awe-inspiring concept of the sublime. The author draws on great philosophers, poets and orators, such as Homer, Plato and Demosthenes to identify five sources of sublimity: elevated thought, strong emotion, imaginative figures of speech, eloquent style and well-crafted sentence structure. Each element is analysed and supported by a wide range of illustrative examples demonstrating how their application in art and rhetoric can inspire, motivate, enrapture, and persuade. Engaging with this book will open new perspectives on the works of the ancient world, while shedding fresh light on the enduring principles of effective communication. Whether you are a student of rhetoric, literature, history, or simply a curious reader, you will find much to admire, and much to learn, in this timeless exploration of the sublime.
