Poetics before Plato

Interpretation and Authority in Early Greek Theories of Poetry

by

"Combining literary and philosophical analysis, this study defends an utterly innovative reading of the early history of poetics. It is the first to argue that there is a distinctively Socratic view of poetry and the first to connect the Socratic view of poetry with earlier literary tradition."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Details

First Sentence

"ric poetry to a lack of mediation between the reader and the events of the poems. The poem's formulaic structure, based on repetition, fixes an unchanging objective background that compels the listener "to accept it as reality.""
