Analysing the poetic genres of his own day, particularly epic and tragedy, Aristotle sets forth a comprehensive theory of the poetic art. In this seminal and highly influential work of ancient literary criticism, Aristotle discusses poetry's aesthetic function as well as its emotional value, revealing at the same time the basic principles of literary art and giving practical hints to the poet.
