Transition from the sublime to the ridiculous (6)

I believe the answer is:

bathos

(Other definitions for bathos that I've seen before include "Change from serious to trivial (in literature)" , "Ludicrous anticlimax" , "Anticlimax, descent from important to trivial" , "Anticlimax, descent to something trivial" , "Ludicrous descent of mood in writing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
