Book Description

ISBN-10: 0415905494 | ISBN-13: 978-0415905497 | Publication Date: August 14, 1992 | Edition: 1

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.
