Publisher's Synopsis
""The Poetics of Aristotle in England: Cornell Studies in English, V17"" by Marvin Theodore Herrick is a comprehensive analysis of the influence of Aristotle's Poetics on English literature. This book explores how Aristotle's ideas about tragedy, poetry, and literary criticism have shaped the works of English writers from the Renaissance to the 20th century.

The book includes detailed discussions of the works of Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden, Pope, Wordsworth, Coleridge, and T.S. Eliot, among others. It also provides a thorough overview of the history of literary criticism in England, from the early debates about the nature of poetry to the emergence of modern literary theory.
