Edmund Burke’s\u003ci\u003e Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful\u003c\/i\u003e (1757), in particular, is shown to have directly or indirectly challenged visual artists to explore not just new themes, but also new compositional strategies and visual media such as panoramas and book illustrations, by arguing that the sublime was beyond the reach of painting. More significantly, it began to call into question mimetic representational models, causing artists to reflect about the presentation of the unpresentable and drawing attention to the process of artistic production itself, rather than the finished artwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Most studies of the sublime simply bypass a lot of criticism because reviewing the history of the criticism of nineteenth-century aesthetics is burdensome. Ibata, instead, puts her work on Burke in the context of as much previous work as is practically feasible and puts Burke’s treatise in relation to contemporary accounts of the sublime in a way that is rarely, if ever, accomplished…she helps the reader to understand what is unique in Burke and which other writers on the sublime influenced each aspect of his ideas.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEuropean Romantic Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'Conducted with rigor and erudition, this study is supported by an abundant iconography (5 color plates and 33 illustrations in white and black inserted in the text) presented in an elegant volume.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eXVII-XVIII\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: From the \u003ci\u003eEnquiry\u003c\/i\u003e to the Academy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The \u003ci\u003ePhilosophical Enquiry,\u003c\/i\u003e theories of the sublime and the sister arts tradition\u003cbr\u003e2 Presenting the unpresentable: the modernity of Burke’s \u003ci\u003eEnquiry\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3 Reynolds, the great style and the Burkean sublime\u003cbr\u003e4 The sublime contained: academic compromises\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Beyond the ‘narrow limits of painting’\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 Immersive spectatorship at the panorama and the aesthetics of the sublime\u003cbr\u003e6 Frames, edges and ‘unlimitation’\u003cbr\u003e7 ‘Sublime dreams’: ruin paintings and architectural fantasies\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart III: Relocating the sublime: Blake, Turner and creative endeavour\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e8 Against and beyond Burke: Blake’s ‘sublime Labours’\u003cbr\u003e9 Turner: from sublime association to sublime energy\u003cbr\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040987152727,"sku":"9781526117410","price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781526117410.jpg?v=1750948502","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-challenge-of-the-sublime-from-burke-s-philosophical-enquiry-to-british-romantic-art-9781526117410","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
