Description
Aristotle's Poetics provides a concise exploration of the art of poetry, one of the earliest surviving discussions of literary theory. This edition includes a revised translation by James Hutton, accompanied by notes and a glossary to aid understanding. The work is supplemented by three sections: "Ancient Sources: Epic and Dramatic", which features excerpted selections from ancient Greek epic and tragedy; "Ancient Sources: Philosophical and Rhetorical", drawing on Aristotle's own works and those of his teacher, Plato; and "Early Modern and Modern Discussions", offering an overview of commentary on Poetics through various lenses. This edition also includes a selected bibliography to facilitate further research.
