What makes a literary work of art beautiful? What distinguishes
this kind of beauty from others? In Europe, this problem has been
repeatedly addressed in poetology and art theory. The present study
is the first to trace the ramifications of the problem in a broader
context, extending from antiquity to the 20th century. The
conclusion is that in its engagement with beauty, literary
esthetics takes an approach of its own to the identification of and
reflection upon the nature of literature as a medium and the
specific materiality and expository potential of literature, homing
in not least on those things that defy communication by means of
the written word.
