Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful Edmund Burke Limited Edition by Woodbank Press First published in London in 1757, A Philosophical Inquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful is one of the defining works of eighteenth-century aesthetics. In this influential treatise, Edmund Burke examines the origins of emotional response in art and nature, distinguishing the beautiful from the sublime and establishing concepts that would shape European thought for generations. Burke argues that beauty and sublimity arise from fundamentally different experiences: beauty from harmony, delicacy and affection, the sublime from vastness, obscurity, power and awe. His ideas transformed the language of aesthetics and profoundly influenced the literature, painting and architecture of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The work became one of the intellectual foundations of Romanticism, inspiring writers and artists including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and J. M. W. Turner. The Woodbank Press Edition Published by Woodbank Press in a strictly limited edition of 25 numbered copies, this octavo edition is newly typeset in Brunel Text Roman No. 2, a classical typeface whose restrained elegance reflects the refined typography of the late Georgian period. The volume is printed on Century Laid, a mould-made pure cotton paper with a traditional laid finish, selected for its strength, texture and permanence. Each copy is hand bound in leather with marbled boards, a gilt-decorated spine, marbled edges, hand-marbled endpapers and a custom-made slipcase. The edition has been designed in the classical European tradition, with particular attention given to typography, proportion and craftsmanship. Produced in a limitation of only twenty-five copies, the edition is intended to be read, collected and preserved.
