Aristotle's Poetics and Longinus on the Sublime is a comprehensive book written by Charles Sears Baldwin that delves into the literary theories of two ancient Greek philosophers. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Aristotle's Poetics, which is considered to be one of the most important works of literary theory ever written. Baldwin provides a detailed analysis of Aristotle's ideas on tragedy, epic poetry, and the elements of a successful plot, as well as his famous concept of catharsis.The second part of the book explores the work of Longinus, a Greek philosopher who wrote On the Sublime. Baldwin examines Longinus' ideas on the power of language and the use of rhetoric to create a sense of awe and wonder in readers. He also explores Longinus' views on the role of the writer in society and the importance of moral and ethical values in literature.Throughout the book, Baldwin provides numerous examples from both ancient and modern literature to illustrate the ideas of Aristotle and Longinus. He also offers his own insights and interpretations of their theories, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in the history of literary theory and the evolution of literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
