Classical Literary Criticism

This excellent and accessible work includes many major texts in translation: Aristotle`s Poetics, Longinus` On Sublimity, Horace`s Art of Poetry, Tacitus` Dialogues, and extracts from Plato and Plutarch. Based on the highly praised Ancient Literary Criticism (OUP, 1972), it contains a new introduction and explanatory notes, and will be of enormous value to students both of Latin and Greek and of literary criticism and theory.
