Reviews

'A remarkable and important study that not only provides the missing link in the history of the sublime, but also redirects the reader towards what is truly great about the literature we read, study, and teach, and why. It is an extraordinarily ambitious project: the work maintains an intellectual focus, energy, and generosity throughout that explains and actually exemplifies the sublime.' Catherine Bates, University of Warwick 'In English Authorship and the Early Modern Sublime, Cheney ... asserts that the early modern era functions as a crucial link in understanding the sublime. Recommended.' K. K. Smith, Choice 'Patrick Cheney, observing a resurgence of interest in the idea of the sublime, has contributed an original and persuasive book on this subject ... The book meticulously catalogs and analyzes uses of the word sublime throughout the period.' Richard F. Hardin, Renaissance Quarterly
