Les quatres poétiques: D'Aristote, d'Horace, de Vida, de Despreaux: avec les traductions & des remarques \; Volume 1 [French]

By Batteux Charles 1713-1780

Les quatre po tiques brings together the influential poetic theories of Aristotle, Horace, Vida, and Boileau (Despr aux) in a single volume. This edition, part of Volume 1, presents these foundational works alongside translations and critical remarks, offering a comparative study of classical and neoclassical aesthetic principles. Charles Batteux, a prominent figure in 18th-century French intellectual life, provides valuable insights into the enduring impact of these poetic traditions. This collection serves as an essential resource for understanding the historical development of literary criticism and the enduring relevance of classical thought on art and literature.
