Description

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - In perfect condition. - Content: To find out how and why the �poetics of fiction� arose, its sources, and the materials from which it was created is the purpose of this book. A series of cultural choices made in archaic and classical Greece produced a clash between the traditional �poetics of truth�, which derived poetry from divine inspiration and in the last analysis did not construe the poem as a work of art at all, and the new �poetics of fiction�, which derived poetry from art. The eventual triumph of the latter, culminating in the Poetics of Aristotle, amounted to an aesthetic revolution because, as a result of it, literary fiction, which since then has become a necessary framework for both the theory and practice of literature in Western tradition, was for the first time separated from non-fiction and given a status of its own. All Greek is translated. Margalit Finkelberg is Associate Professor in Classics at Tel Aviv University. ISBN 9780198150954
