It brings together three foundational treatises of Western criticism: Aristotle's «Poetics», on tragedy, epic, and catharsis; Horace's «Ars poetica», defending the civilizing value of poetry and decorum; and «On the Sublime», attributed to Longinus, on poetic greatness as an innate gift.

Aristotle was an ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings span the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology, and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.
