i'm working on a project exploring the relationship(s) between the following:
1. "the sublime",
2. representations of landscape, and
3. the nature of photography (i.e. it lies)
could anyone recommend any relevant books, articles and (most coveted) quotes on the subject(s)?
please?

Edmund Burke wrote a longish essay on the subject of the sublime. I am too tired to look it up but I will look for references later if you would like. There is also a late 18th century female writer who wrote quite extensively on the sublime but I cannot quite now recall her name.
