Poetics and Rhetoric

I enjoyed reading this book. I can easily see why a book such as this became the textbook for countless academics for hundreds of years. Aristotle writes with immense confidence, almost as if he believes that his words are the gospel truth. (That's odd phrase for me to use but it satisfactorily conveys the point I'm trying to make.) This is a cursory review only. Any more adequate review would require much more time devoted to reading, studying and analyzing the text. For those interested in reading the classics, this one will not disappoint or bore you to tears.
