Whalley's unconventional interpretation emphasizes Aristotle's treatment of art as dynamic process rather than finished product. The volume includes two essays by Whalley in which he outlines his method and purpose. He identifies a deep congruence between Aristotle's understanding of mimesis and Samuel Taylor Coleridge's view of imagination. Whalley's new translation makes a major contribution to the study of not only the Poetics and tragedy but all literature and aesthetics.PoeticsPoetryEarly works to 1800AestheticsEarly works to 1800PoetryAesthetics808.2Aristotle4207Baxter John291992Atherton Patrick1644370Whalley George1915-1272988MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910815976303321Aristotle's Poetics3990191UNINA
