What reading level is On the Sublime book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
No sooner is the support of sublimity removed thanthe whole becomes lifeless, nerveless, and dull.
3There is a difference, however, between the rules I am now giving andthose just mentioned. Then I was speaking of the delineation andco-ordination of the principal circumstances. My next task, therefore, must be briefly to define this difference, and with it the generaldistinction between amplification and sublimity. Our whole discoursewill thus gain in clearness.
XII I must first remark that I a...m not satisfied with the definition ofamplification generally given by authorities on rhetoric. They explainit to be a form of language which invests the subject with a certaingrandeur. Yes, but this definition may be applied indifferently tosublimity, pathos, and the use of figurative language, since all theseinvest the discourse with some sort of grandeur. The difference seems tome to lie in this, that sublimity gives elevation to a subject, whileamplification gives extension as well. Thus the sublime is oftenconveyed in a single thought, [1] but amplification can only subsist witha certain prolixity and diffusiveness.
