2011 Reprint of 1911 Fourth and Revised Edition. Full facsimile of
the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition
Software. Edited with critical notes and a translation by S.H.
Butcher. All Greek characters are reproduced. Butcher's translation
is one of the better, if not the best, translation of this
important on literary theory. "Aristotle's Poetics" is the
earliest-surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant
philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory. In it,
Aristotle offers an account of what he calls "poetry" (a term which
in Greek literally means "making" and in this context includes
drama-comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play-as well as lyric poetry,
epic poetry, and the dithyramb). He examines its "first principles"
and identifies its genres and basic elements; his analysis of
tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion.
