When Philip Sidney defends poetry by defending the methods used
by poets and lawyers alike, he relies on the traditional
association between fiction and legal procedure--an association
that begins with Aristotle. In this study Kathy Eden offers a new
understanding of this tradition, from its origins in Aristotle's
Poetics and De Anima, through its development in the psychological
and rhetorical theory of late antiquity and the Middle Ages, to its
culmination in the literary theory of the Renaissance.
Originally published in 1986.
