In this, the fullest, sustained interpretation of Aristotle's Poetics available in English, Stephen Halliwell demonstrates that the Poetics, despite its laconic brevity, is a coherent statement of a challenging theory of poetic art, and it hints towards a theory of mimetic art in general. Assessing this theory against the background of earlier Greek views on poetry and art, particularlyPlato's, Halliwell goes further than any previous author in setting Aristotle's ideas in the wider context of his philosophical system.The core of the book is a fresh appraisal of Aristotle's viewof tragic drama, in which Halliwell contends that at the heart of the Poetics lies a philosophical urge to instill a secularized understanding of Greek tragedy.This interpretation of Aristotle's Poetics seeks to demonstrate that it is a coherent statement of a challenging theory of poetic art and it hints towards a theory of mimetic art in general. The core of the book is an appraisal of Aristotle's view of tragic drama.
