by Stephen Halliwell (Author)
In this sustained interpretation, Stephen Halliwell demonstrates that Poetics, despite its laconic brevity, contains a coherent statement of mimetic art in general. He assesses this theory against a background of earlier Greek views on poetry and art, particularly Plato's; and he goes further than many previous authors in setting Aristotle's ideas in the wider context of his philosophical system. The core of the book is an appraisal of Aristotle's view of tragic drama, in which Professor Halliwell contends that at the heart of Poetics lies the philosophical urge to work out a secularized understanding of Greek tragedy.
