Synopsis
Discover how ancient critics shaped our view of Greek poetry and drama—and why their ideas still echo in today’s literature.
This edition analyzes how Aristotle, Longinus, and earlier commentators treated poetry as more than mere imitation. It explains how art blends form, imagination, and moral meaning, and how criticism moved from simple rules to a broader view of creativity and human experience.
- Learn how poetry is defined as more than copying reality, but as creating meaning through form and imagination.
- See how the Poetics and the Rhetoric relate to moral and aesthetic questions in Greek thought.
- Understand the debate over tragedy, epic, and the role of the chorus in shaping readers’ responses.
- Explore how criticism evolved to balance technical analysis with appreciation for inspired style.
Ideal for readers interested in classical criticism, literary theory, and the foundations of Western aesthetics throughout Greek literature.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of literary criticism from ancient Greece through to its rise as an independent discipline in the West. It demonstrates how early criticism began with the examination of the relations between literature and the political life of Athens, a subject of great importance in the Athenian social and political context. The author, a philologist, delves into the criticism of the comic stage, the lofty speculations of Plato, and even the shallow disputations of the Sophists, revealing how these extraneous principles governed the early periods of Greek literary criticism. The book also examines how literary criticism in Greece, often overshadowed by the reverence and monistic view of life held towards literature, nevertheless made gradual but significant progress towards establishing its own principles and identity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330709047_0
