"Ever since its original publication, [this bookl has
done excellent service in acquainting college students
and many another with this the first and still one Of
the fundamental and indispensable treatises Of the
Western world on literary and art criticism. Professor
Cooper's amplifications Of the text of the Poetics ap-
pear on nearly every page. They take the form of
needed and suggestive explanations, comments, and
additional illustrations."
— Thought
"Rather than burden his translation With numerous
footnotes which would often be longer than the
passage under discussion, [Lane Cooper] took the
bold step Of incorporating the explanatory comments
directly in the body of the text. Furthermore he sup-
plied illustrative references, not Only to classical
authors, but also to the English masterpieces that
the modern student is likely to recognize. The text is
therefore a remarkable collaboration between
Aristotle of Stagira and Cooper of Ithaca. The un-
diminished vitality of AristotWs critical theories is
can be so
well demonstrated by the fact that
readil y ap plied to examples from Sha are or
Words worth.' '
