Sinopsis
Excerpt from Essays on the Study and Use of Poetry
The recent very general interest in poetics has led me to prepare these translations of the essays on poetry by Plu tarch and Basil the Great, in the hope that they may prove useful to students of literature. Although they were not epoch-making, these essays are worthy of consideration, for, besides their intrinsic value, they mark interesting stages in the history of poetic criticism.

Excerpt from Essays on the Study and Use of Poetry
The recent very general interest in poetics has led me to prepare these translations of the essays on poetry by Plutarch and Basil the Great, in the hope that they may prove useful to students of literature. Although they were not epoch-making, these essays are worthy of consideration, for, besides their intrinsic value, they mark interesting stages in the history of poetic criticism.
The essay on How a Young Man Ought to Study Poetry was first rendered into English by Philemon Holland, who made a complete translation of the Morals, which was issued in octavo from the press of Arnold Hatfield, a London printer, in 1603. Its title reads as follows: The Philosophic, commonlie called The Morals, written by the learned Philosopher Plutarch of Chaeronea. Translated out of Greek into English, and conferred with the Latin translations and the French, by Philemon Holland of Coventrie, Doctor in Physicke. Whereunto are annexed the Summaries necessary to be read before every Treatise. This version, though its archaism possesses an undeniable charm, is not altogether adapted to modern requirements. A second edition, newly revised and corrected, appeared in 1657, and this was followed not many years later by the translation of the Morals by Several Hands, published in London in 1684- 1694.To this work Simon Ford contributed the version of the essay on How a Young Man Ought to Study Poetry. Fords translation is clumsy, frequently obscure, and often wide of the Greek. In 1870 Professor Goodwin offered a corrected and revised text of this rendering of the Morals, and the fact that the sixth edition appeared in 1898 attests the usefulness of this revised version.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of ancient Greek literature through the lens of two prominent figures: Plutarch and Basil the Great. The author provides a nuanced examination of their views on poetry and its role in society, placing their theories within the broader context of Greek intellectual history. You'll encounter an exploration of the distinction between poetry and prose, the relationship between poetry and truth, and the ultimate purpose of art. The author reveals how Plutarch, while valuing philosophy as the highest pursuit, ultimately saw poetry as a valuable tool for introducing young minds to the deeper truths of life, akin to a gateway to philosophy itself. By analyzing Plutarch's and Basil's writings, the author unveils a complex and insightful perspective on the enduring power of classical literature to shape both minds and societies. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
