[Aristotle's Poetics: Introduction] [Aristotle's Poetics: a bibliography] [ Malcolm Heath]

Aristotle Poetics: a bibliography
Part 2: works published from 1996
(and other supplements to Schrier)


Note: Part 2 of this bibliography includes primarily publications from 1996 onwards (so that there is a 1-year overlap with Part 1). Also included are some earlier items not listed in Schrier (1998); these are mostly due to my less systematic criteria for inclusion, rather than any oversight on Schrier's part.
