Abstract

"This is the first systematic study of the sublime in Lucan. Drawing upon renewed critical interest in the tradition of philosophical aesthetics, Henry Day argues that the category of the sublime offers a means of moving beyond readings of Lucan's epic poem Bellum Civile in terms of political commitment or nihilism. Demonstrating in dialogue with theorists from Burke and Kant to Freud, Lyotard and Ankersmit the continuing vitality of Longinus' foundational treatise On the Sublime, Day charts Lucan's complex and instructive exploration of the relationship between sublimity and ethical discourses of freedom and oppression. Through its representation of the apocalypse of civil war and metapoetic accounts of its own genesis, through its heated linguistic texture and proclaimed effects upon future readers, and, most powerfully of all, through its representation of its twin protagonists Caesar and Pompey, the Bellum Civile emerges as a central text in the history of the sublime"--

Abstract

Ce livre analyse les rapports existants entre les notions d'abject et de sublime - que tout semble opposer et que la critique interroge à nouveau depuis quelques années, mais de manière séparée - pour penser la crise de la représentation survenue au vingtième siècle. Inaugurée par la déclaration hégélienne de la mort de l'esthétique en 1835 et entérinée par la guerre et l'expérience des camps invalidant, selon Adorno, les possibilités de l'art, cette crise invite à s'interroger sur les deux extrêmes de la représentation que sont l'abject et le sublime. C'est ce que font, chacune à leur manière, les oeuvres de Georges Bataille, Jean Genet et Samuel Beckett. Dans leurs textes de théorie et de fiction, l'abject et le sublime occupent une place centrale, en tant que thématique, esthétique et poétique. Les deux notions y sont, dans chaque cas, indissociables. Ce livre montre que cette indissociabilité est caractéristique de la mutation esthétique advenue au siècle dernier. Par l'étude de trois oeuvres majeures révélatrices de cette mutation, il révèle la nécessité actuelle de penser l'abject et le sublime conjointement, tout en offrant une nouvelle lecture des textes considérés.

Abstract

"Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, one of the greatest Latin poems, worked a powerful fascination on Virgil and Horace, and continued to be an important model for later poets in antiquity and after, including Milton. This innovative set of studies on the reception of Lucretius is organized round three major themes: history and time, the sublime, and knowledge. The De Rerum Natura was foundational for Augustan poets' dealings with history and time in the new age of the principate. It is also a major document in the history of the sublime; Virgil and Horace engage with the Lucretian sublime in ways that exercised a major influence on the sublime in later antique and Renaissance literature. The De Rerum Natura presents a confident account of the ultimate truths of the universe; later didactic and epic poets respond with varying degrees of certainty or uncertainty to the challenge of Lucretius' Epicurean gospel"--Provided by publisher.
