Examines the return of the sublime in post-modernity, and at intimations of a 'post-Romantic' sublime in Romanticism itself. This work looks at 18th-century, Romantic, modernist and post-modern 'inventions' of the sublime alongside contemporary critical accounts of the relationship of sublimity to subjectivity, aesthetics, politics and history.
