About this eBook
The ancient philosopher’s treatise on dramatic and literary theory.
This historic work contains Aristotle’s thoughts on poetry—lyric, epic—and drama—comedy, tragedy, satyr. It remains one of the core volumes for those with an interest in theory, criticism, philosophy, and the arts.
Delving into such topics as plot, character, rhythm, language, and catharsis, Poetics is a remarkable and essential work, sparking debate among scholars to this very day.
