The Sublime of Intense Sociability: Emily Dickinson, H.D., and Gertrude Stein

Ön Kapak
Bucknell University Press, 2000 - 183 sayfa
This study explores the sublime from Lomginus through Wordsworth, to contemporary philosophy, feminist and postcolonial theory. Alfrey draws on these models to consider how Dickson, H.D. and Stein develop their own poetic strategies to claim the power of the sublime while resisting its ontological violence.

Sayfa 23 - of the sublime: When . . . danger or pain press too nearly, they are incapable of giving any delight, and are simply terrible; but at certain distances, and with certain modifications, they may be, and they are delightful.
Sayfa 22 - [W]hatever is fitted in any sort to excite the ideas of pain, and danger ... or operates in a manner analogous to terror, is a source of the sublime
