L. (Herbert Lord) 1913 Havell, Herbert Lord On the Sublime Wikipedia page on this work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_the_Sublime Produced by Louise Hope, Justin Kerk and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "On the Sublime" by Longinus is a classical treatise on literary criticism, likely written during the 1st century. This work explores the concept of the sublime in literature, particularly how it applies to poetry and oratory. Longinus delves into the qualities that elevate writing to greatness, emphasizing the importance of thought, passion, and stylistic techniques in achieving sublimity. The opening of the treatise outlines Longinus’s intention to examine the nature of the sublime and critiques another writer, Caecilius, for inadequately addressing the subject. He emphasizes two essential goals in technical writing: defining the sublime and providing methods for achieving it. Longinus argues that sublime language lifts readers beyond mere rational understanding, creating a powerful, emotional experience. He asserts that while some may claim sublimity can only be innate, it can also be cultivated through study and practice, setting the stage for his further analysis of the sources and characteristics of literary greatness.
