The engagement with Aristotle’s newly rediscovered Poetics is fundamental to the beginnings of modern literary theory in 16th century Italy. Based on present-day research into Aristotle, Brigitte Kappl takes central themes from the Poetics (poetry as imitation, action and character, tragic flaw, cathartic effect) to examine whether and to what extent the literary theory of that age actually presents a ‘rationalistic’ or ‘moralistic’ re-interpretation of Aristotle’s theory, as is usually maintained.
