Follows the aesthetic of the sublime from Burke and Kant, through Wordsworth and Shelley, into Thackeray, Dickens, and Hardy. This book demonstrates that this aesthetic is an inheritance the Victorians receive from their romantic predecessors, and also a historical phenomenon that questions the artificial boundaries between romantic and Victorian.
