Poetics along with Rhetoric constitutes Aristotle’s oeuvre on aesthetics. Much of Western literary thought has its roots in Aristotle’s Poetics in which he expounded upon his theories of literature and classified it by genre and components. Starting with the notion that all humans have a natural propensity towards literature a means of mimesis or imitation Poetics provides a comprehensive analysis of tragedy. The essays featured in this edition contextualize Aristotle’s seminal work within various critical perspectives equipping the reader with multiple points of view in the study and appreciation of the work.
