The Romantic Sublime Philosophical concept developed by Edmund Burke and Immanuel Kant The dynamic and the mathematical sublime That which is bigger than the self, inspiring awe and teror

The Romantic Sublime A question of perspective?

"The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature "The passion caused by the great and sublime in nature . . . is Astonishment; and astonishment is that state of the soul, in which all its motions are suspended, with some degree of horror. In this case the mind is so entirely filled with its object, that it cannot entertain any other." [Edmund Burke, On the Sublime , 1756 ed. J. T. Bolton. 58]

Keats and ‘Negative Capability’ ‘several things dovetailed in my mind, & at once it struck me, what quality went to form a Man of Achievement especially in Literature & which Shakespeare possessed so enormously – I mean Negative Capability, that is when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact & reason’ (Keats in an 1817 letter to his brothers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kY0HlpG8Lw
