Riassunto

Excerpt from Criticism and Creation: Essays and Addresses

N ow the practical spirit which inspired the Rhetoric seems to me to have been that in which was composed or outlined what we know as the Poetics. Having analysed, with all the long experience behind him of argument, in oratory and discussion and drama in the Greek world, the factors which make for persuasion in matters about which scientific truth is unattainable, he would now, with the work of Homer and the tragedians in View, consider what are the factors which go to make a good poem, a good tragedy. Only the part concerning tragedy has survived and that probably only in part. But what he does thus elicit from a study of Sophocles, Euripides, and Homer is presented as rules, at least as hints for those who would be epic or tragic poets.
