This sourceComprehensive history of sublime theory from Longinus through Boileau, Dennis, Burke, and Kant; argues the tradition is unified by a common structure—the paradoxical experience of being simultaneously overwhelmed and exalted—and a shared concern with preserving transcendence within secular modernity.

Doran's own book description confirms a cross-domain common structure uniting sublime theory from Longinus to Kant ('overwhelmed and exalted'), but does not state that overwhelming magnitude produces consciousness or meaning-making.
“Doran explains how and why the sublime became a key concept of modern thought and shows how the various theories of sublimity are united by a common structure - the paradoxical experience of being at once overwhelmed and exalted - and a common concern: the preservation of a notion of transcendence in the face of the secularization of modern culture.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
