A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

When Milton gave to the world in 1671 his dramatic poemS amson A gonistes, he set before it a short discourse Of that sort of Dramatic Poem which is call dT ragedy. The discourse opens thus :T ragedy, as it was antiently compos d, hath been ever held the gravest, moralest, and most profitable of all other Poems: therefore said by Aristotle to be of power by raising pity and fear, or terror, to purge the mind of those and such like passions, that is to temper and reduce them to just measure with a kind of delight stirred up by reading or seeing those passions well imitated. Of the emotions to which man is subject, pity and terror are the most urgent and tense and the most completely concentrated to a single point of time.
