520 This volume brings together the three most original and
influential ancient Greek treatises on literature.
Artistotle's Poetics contains his treatment of Greek
tragedy: its history, nature, and conventions, with
details on poetic diction. Stephen Halliwell makes this
seminal work newly accessible with a reliable text and a
translation that is both accurate and readable. His
authoritative introduction traces the work's debt to
earlier theorists (especially Plato), its distinctive
argument, and the reasons behind its enduring relevance.
The essay On the Sublime, usually attributed to "Longinus"
(identity uncertain), was probably composed in the first
century A.D.; its subject is the appreciation of greatness
("the sublime") in writing, with analysis of illustrative
passages ranging from Homer and Sappho to Plato and
Genesis. In this edition, Donald Russell has judiciously
revised and newly annotated the text and translation by W.
Hamilton Fyfe and provides a new introduction. The
treatise On Style, ascribed to an (again unidentifiable)
Demetrius, was perhaps composed during the second century
B.C. It seems to reflect the theoretical energy of
Hellenistic rhetorical works now lost, and is notable
particularly for its theory and analysis of four distinct
styles (grand, elegant, plain, and forceful). Doreen
Innes' fresh rendering of the work is based on the earlier
Loeb translation by W. Rhys Roberts. Her new introduction
and notes represent the latest scholarship.
