Poetics before Plato: Interpretation and Authority in Early Greek Theories of Po
From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Overall very good and clean. - Contents: Introduction: Poetry, Knowledge, and Interpretation -- 1. Supernatural Knowledge in Homeric Poetics -- 2. Hesiod's Naturalism -- 3. Pindar: The Poet as Interpreter -- 4. Socratic Poetics -- 5. Toward a Model of Socratic Interpretation. - 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. Literary theory is usually said to begin with Platos famous critique of poetry in the Republic.
