About “Poetics”

Few writers in history have made major contributions to as many fields of knowledge as Aristotle. In the introduction, Hugh Lawson-Tancred discusses how, in Greek city-states, oratorical competence was essential for politicians and citizens, prompting the rapid development of rhetoric as a technique. Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) establishes methods of informal reasoning, provides the first aesthetic evaluation of prose style, and offers detailed observations on character and the emotions. This is a book by Aristotle.
