Aristotle's Poetics
Aristotle
Poetics (trans., McLeish)
by Aristotle, Kenneth McLeish
Synopsis
One of the most influential tracts in World Theatre, The Poetics is much mentioned but little read.
It is credited as the source of the ‘Aristotelian’ doctrine of the Three Unities (of Time, Place and Action) but in fact insists only on one of them.
This brand new translation by Kenneth McLeish seeks to make this famous text as accessible as possible and to allow readers to experience Aristotle’s arguments directly for themselves.
