Reviews
In the Beautiful, the Sublime and the Grotesque: The Subjective Turn in Aesthetics from the Enlightenment to the present, Matthis has collected a variety of contemporary critical responses to this paradox of Enlightened subjectivity. The range of interest is both provocative and entertaining-from the ideas of Hume and Kant to the theories of Poe, the blues, art museums, Bob Jones University, and the millieu of post modernist artists and writers. The lately formed Cambridge Scholars Publishing Company has shown its commitment to scholarly excellence in encouraging and sposoring the work that went into the making of this volume. The Beautiful, the Sublime and the Grotesque is for the most part a clearly written and cohesive study of the lasting consequences of the enlightenment's attempt to break with both faith classicism. It is book for libraries, for scholars, for students at every level. Lloyd Daigrepont in Review of Texas Books, Volume XXV, Issues 3 and 4; Fall 2010.
