Description

Explore the profound impact of the third Earl of Shaftesbury on eighteenth-century literature. While often recognized as a leader of the Moral Sense school of philosophers, his contributions to literary theory are equally significant. This Routledge Library Edition provides a detailed account of his aesthetic and literary thought, offering a fresh perspective on his intellectual legacy. This study examines his specific discussions regarding the imagination, ridicule, aesthetic judgment, and the sublime. By analyzing his work, readers can see how he anticipated the ideas of major later writers including Burke, Coleridge, and Kant. Originally published in 1951, this text remains a valuable resource for students and scholars of historical literature and eighteenth-century philosophy. It places Shaftesbury's thought within its proper historical and intellectual context, making it an essential addition to any academic library.
