This volume brings together the three most original and influential
ancient Greek treatises on literature. Artistotle's Poetics
contains his treatment of Greek tragedy: its history, nature, and
conventions, with details on poetic diction. Stephen Halliwell
makes this seminal work newly accessible with a reliable text and a
translation that is both accurate and readable. His authoritative
introduction traces the work's debt to earlier theorists
(especially Plato), its distinctive argument, and the reasons
behind its enduring relevance. The essay On the Sublime, usually
attributed to "Longinus" (identity uncertain), was probably
composed in the first century A.D.; its subject is the appreciation
of greatness ("the sublime") in writing, with analysis of
illustrative passages ranging from Homer and Sappho to Plato and
Genesis. In this edition, Donald Russell has judiciously revised
and newly annotated the text and translation by W. Hamilton Fyfe
and provides a new introduction. The treatise On Style, ascribed to
an (again unidentifiable) Demetrius, was perhaps composed during
the second century B.C. It seems to reflect the theoretical energy
of Hellenistic rhetorical works now lost, and is notable
particularly for its theory and analysis of four distinct styles
(grand, elegant, plain, and forceful). Doreen Innes' fresh
rendering of the work is based on the earlier Loeb translation by
W. Rhys Roberts. Her new introduction and notes represent the
latest scholarship.

Aristotle's Rhetoric is an ancient Greek treatise on the art of
persuasion, dating from the 4th century BC. In Greek, it is titled,
in Latin Ars Rhetorica. In English, its title varies: typically it
is titled Rhetoric, the Art of Rhetoric, or a Treatise on Rhetoric.
Aristotle is generally credited with developing the basics of the
system of rhetoric that "thereafter served as its touchstone,"
influencing the development of rhetorical theory from ancient
through modern times. The Rhetoric is regarded by most rhetoricians
as "the most important single work on persuasion ever written."
Gross & Walzer concur, indicating that, just as Whitehead
considered all Western philosophy a footnote to Plato, "all
subsequent rhetorical theory is but a series of responses to issues
raised" by Aristotle's Rhetoric. This is largely a reflection of
disciplinary divisions, dating back to Peter Ramus's attacks on
Aristotlean rhetoric in the late 16th century and continuing to the
present.( wikipedia.org)
