The series of which this volume forms part is not a Bradshaw or a Whitaker's Almanack of information; nor has it been designed on the lines of the standard Histories of Literature. It is intended for those many thousands of general readers who accept with genuine respect what is known as our 'literary heritage', but who might none the less hesitate to describe intimately the work of such writers as Pope, George Eliot, Langland, Marvell, Yeats, Tourneur, Hopkins, Crabbe, or D. H. Lawrence, or to fit them into any larger pattern of growth and development.
The Most Sublime Act - Essays on the SublimeA university booklet for the students of English literature. Contains thirteen essays devoted to the notion of sublime in the literary output of Heiddeger, Kant, Nietzsche, Blake, Burke, Langland, Melville and Benjamin.
