Part of the Nick Hern Books Dramatic Contexts series: important statements on the theatre by major figures in the theatre.One of the most influential tracts in world theatre, Aristotle's Poetics is crucial to an understanding of how drama works, and how it has evolved.It is the source of the doctrine of the Three Unities – of Time, Place and Action – and the concept of catharsis in tragedy.Writing only a hundred years after Sophocles and Euripides, Aristotle's insights into Greek drama are endlessly rewarding.This English translation by Kenneth McLeish makes the famous text more accessible than ever before, without cutting or paraphrasing. Important passages are highlighted, while key words and concepts are glossed within the text, without the need for intrusive footnotes.The result is an authoritative text of Aristotle's Poetics that allows readers to experience his arguments directly for themselves.Also included is a compact introduction by McLeish to Aristotle and his ideas. - Häftad, Engelska, 2002

A passionate and controversial call for black cultural separatism, from the author of the Olivier award-winning Jitney and the Pulitzer Prize-winning King Hedley II.'I believe that race matters - that it is the largest, most identifiable part of our personality... Cultural Imperialists view European culture as beyond reproach in its perfection. It is inconceivable to them that life could be lived without knowing Shakespeare or Mozart... The idea that blacks have their own way of responding to the world, their own values, style, linguistics, religion and aesthetics, is unacceptable to them... We reject any attempt to blot us out...' August WilsonAugust Wilson's The Ground on Which I Stand is published in the Nick Hern Books Dramatic Contexts series: important statements on the theatre by major figures in the theatre.
