Reviews

[Georgia Scott · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short and sweet. I have a paperback copy. It can fit in my pocket.

[Zina · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just a short note about this short book: McLeish’s Aristotle concerns Poetics almost exclusively. It is not clear from the cover and title but when you open the book to the third page it says Poetics. Unfortunately I am studying Politics right now and, though it had a helpful timeline and little bit of history, this book is ultimately unhelpful for my study.
