Two papers on
classical literary criticism I uploaded to the SSRN—written in the late
eighties, and somewhat revised subsequently, so dates are approximate.
They have now been accepted in a number of electronic journals.
1. Aristotle's Poetics
This paper provides an overview and
commentary of Aristotle's theory of poetry, of drama, and of narrative
structure, as presented the Poetics. The main emphasis falls on plot
structure, but we expound other important subjects dealt with in the
work, such as the cognitive origins of literature, the nature of
poetry, an incipient theory of media and the analysis of genres, the
nature and elements of tragedy, and other subjects such as epic
narrative and the structure of critical debates.

2 - Classical Criticism after Aristotle
This
paper provides an overview of the main contributions to literary
theory, criticism, and secular hermeneutics after the age of Plato and
Aristotle. The main authors dealt with are Horace, Pseudo-Longinus, and
Plotinus, mainly as regards their poetics and their aesthetic theories.
Some schools dealt with more briefly are the Stoics, the Epiciureans,
and the Hellenistic scholars, There follows a section on classical
hermeneutics, and another on classical rhetoric.
