Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - No author in the English canon seems more deserving of the epithet sublime than John Milton. Yet Milton's sublimity has long been dismissed as an invention of eighteenth-century criticism. The poet himself, the story goes, could hardly have had any notion of the sublime, a concept that only took shape in the decades after his death with the advent of philosophical aesthetics. Such a narrative, however, fails to account for the fact that Milton is one of the first writers in English to refer to Longinus, the author traditionally associated with the Ancient Greek treatise On the Sublime. This book argues that Milton did have an idea of the sublime--one that came to him from Longinus but also from a larger classical tradition that offered a pre-aesthetic predecessor to the aesthetic concept of the sublime.Thomas Vozar shows that Longinus was better known in early modern England than has been previously appreciated; that various notions of sublimity beyond that of Longinus would have been available to Milton and his contemporaries; and that such notions of the sublime were integral to Milton's rhetorical, scientific, and theological imagination. Additional material relating to the early modern reception of Longinus is provided in the appendices, which contain the first bibliographical study of copies of Longinus in English private libraries to 1674 and an edition of a newly discovered seventeenth-century English translation of Longinus.Far from being anachronistic, Milton's 'abstracted sublimities' touch on almost every aspect of his thought, from rhetoric to politics, from science to theology. Making substantive contributions to literary scholarship, classical reception studies, and the history of ideas, Milton, Longinus, and the Sublime in the Seventeenth Century returns the sublime to its proper place at the forefront of Milton criticism, re-evaluates the diffusion of Longinian texts and concepts in early modern Europe, and records a crucial missing chapter in the history of the sublime.

In this wide-ranging study in classical reception and the history of ideas, Thomas Matthew Vozar shows how Milton's ideas of the sublime were informed by a deep understanding of Longinus and other ancient sources. The book also demonstrates how Longinus's ideas and writings were far more prevalent in early modern England than previously thought. This item is printed on demand.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This edition offers a novel perspective on seventeenth-century European-Islamic encounters by making accessible the Neo-Latin poem On the Turkish Religion (De Religione Turcica). Written by the Cambridge scholar Isaac Barrow during a visit to Istanbul in 1658, this poem shows how the knowledge and use of Latin contributed to the rise of early modern European oriental studies, both as a medium of information and as a vehicle of representation. As well as including an accessible translation and full text with commentary, Vozar lays out for the reader a detailed introduction explaining the background of Barrows travels, especially his meeting with the Polish-born Ottoman dragoman Ali Ufki, whose Latin Epitome of Islamic doctrine constituted Barrows main source. Comparison between the two texts reveals some of the ways in which Barrow converted Ufkis work to polemical purposes in his Lucretian diatribe against the religion. As further elucidation of the context of Barrow's poem, Vozar includes in this edition a text and translation of a Latin letter that Barrow wrote to his Cambridge colleagues around the same time, in which he discusses the genesis of the poem as well as current affairs at the Ottoman court.
