H. Butcher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAristotle's Poetics, c. 335 BCE, is the earliest surviving work of dramatic theory and the first extant philosophical treatise to focus on literary theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn it, Aristotle offers an account of what he calls \"poetry\" (a term which in Greek literally means \"making\" and in this context includes drama--comedy, tragedy, and the satyr play--as well as lyric poetry and epic poetry). They are similar in the fact that they are all imitations but different in the three ways that Aristotle describes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Differences in music rhythm, harmony, meter and melody.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Difference of goodness in the characters.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Difference in how the narrative is presented: telling a story or acting it out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn examining its \"first principles,\" Aristotle finds two: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1) imitation and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e2) genres and other concepts by which that of truth is applied\/revealed in the poesis. His analysis of tragedy constitutes the core of the discussion. Although Aristotle's Poetics is universally acknowledged in the Western critical tradition, \"almost every detail about his seminal work has aroused divergent opinions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe work was lost to the Western world for a long time. It was available in the Middle Ages and early Renaissance only through a Latin translation of an Arabic version written by Averroes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 10 x 7.01 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 07, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52703511183667,"sku":"9781535156851","price":15.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TS90N0kxeXlCUG1qZGM1aThiYXgvdz09.webp?v=1763326788","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-poetics-of-aristotle-paperback-3","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
