Longinus on the SublimeCreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 30 mai 2016 - 136 pages The interior of this book is a facsimile reproduction of a rare book published by Macmillan and Co. in 1890. This work, attributed to Longinus, though long overlooked, is a gem, which has been valued by some profound thinkers, among whom was American humanist Irving Babbitt, who said that "it actually deals with the sources of elevation or distinction in writing; it is in short a treatise on style, probably the best in any language" and that "it deals in minute detail with craftsmanship; at the same time it insists that literary excellence must arise primarily from loftiness of spirit."
