Description

Aristotle's Poetics is a classic work of literary criticism that has been studied and debated for centuries. In this edition, Carroll and Mitchell provide a fresh perspective on the text by examining it in the context of the Homeric Scholia, a collection of ancient commentaries on Homer's epic poems. The authors explore the themes and ideas put forth by Aristotle in his Poetics, including the nature of tragedy, the role of plot and character, and the relationship between art and morality. Through their analysis of the Homeric Scholia, they shed new light on Aristotle's ideas and offer a deeper understanding of his influential work. This edition is an essential resource for scholars and students of literature, philosophy, and classical studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
