This 1967 English edition of Aristotle’s Poetics, translated and edited by Gerald F. Else, offers a window into the foundational theories of dramatic art and literary criticism in the Western world. Aristotle’s seminal work, written in the 4th century BCE, laid the groundwork for the study of poetry, drama, and aesthetics, influencing generations of writers, philosophers, and scholars. Else’s translation and extensive commentary provide invaluable insights into Aristotle’s ideas on tragedy, plot structure, character development, and the enduring power of great literature. This copy, despite its wear and tear, remains a treasured artifact for collectors and students of classical literature, philosophy, and the origins of dramatic theory. Its well-preserved pages and secure binding ensure that Aristotle’s timeless wisdom can continue to inspire and educate readers for years to come.
