Poetics. Longinus: On the Sublime. Demetrius: On Style by Aristotle
In Poetics Aristotle treats Greek tragedy and epic. The subject of On the Sublime, attributed to an (unidentifiable) Longinus and probably composed in the first century AD is greatness in writing. On Style, attributed to an (unidentifiable) Demetrius and perhaps composed in the second century BC, analyzes four literary styles.
This volume completely supersedes its predecessor… The Loeb editors have chosen the world’s best scholars on these difficult authors for the revisions… Each ancient text is given a clear, informative introduction, outlining for general readers and specialists alike the basic problems and concerns of each essay, backed up with helpful bibliographical notes… In sum, this is an excellent, if overdue, revision of seminal criticism… Congratulations to the contributors and to the series editors for another splendidly produced volume which any scholar of classical literature should now possess-- Richard Hawley * Classical Review *
This set of revisions was past due, and its arrival is most welcome. The result is a useful and physically very beautiful little volume that, I predict, will see very heavy use. -- John T. Kirby * Classical Outlook *
