section::::contents.:the sublime.









































longinus critically applauds and condemns certain literary works as examples of good or bad styles of writing. longinus ultimately promotes an "elevation of style" and an essence of "simplicity". to quote this famous author, "the first and most important source of sublimity [is] the power of forming great conceptions." the concept of the sublime is generally accepted to refer to a style of writing that elevates itself "above the ordinary". finally, longinus sets out five sources of sublimity: "great thoughts, strong emotions, certain figures of thought and speech, noble diction, and dignified word arrangement".
