Overview
This study attempts to explain the renown and endurance of the narrative and dramatic works included under the rubric "Great Books" by appealing to the theory contained in one of the greatest of the Great Books, Aristotle's Poetics. Its central tenet - that successful literature involves the accurate representation of human experience - is proposed as the basis both of their endurance and greatness.Book Details
