This book is a guide to the poetics of the two Greek fountainheads
of Western literary theory. Part I traces the development of
Plato's great themes of inspiration and imitation but makes no
attempt to reduce his disparate statements to a system. Part II
demonstrates that Aristotle's "Poetics" embodies a powerful theory
of literature that answers Plato's objections to poetry as an
emotionally powerful, and therefore dangerous, communication of
false opinion.
Originally published in 1987.
