The Poetics

Dramatic and literary theory from Aristotle (c. 335 BCE). “The rules are all in a sixty-four-page pamphlet by Aristotle called Poetics. It was written almost three thousand years ago, but I promise you, if something is wrong with what you're writing, you’ve probably broken one of Aristotle’s rules.” —Aaron Sorkin “The Meaning of Life” Esquire January 2011
