A series of cultural choices made in archaic and classical Greece produced a clash between the traditional `poetics of truth', which derived poetry from divine inspiration and in the last analysis did not construe the poem as a work of art at all, and the new `poetics of fiction', which derived poetry\n\u003cbr\u003efrom art.  The eventual succession of the latter, culminating with the Poetics of Aristotle, amounted to an aesthetic revolution because, as a result of it, literary fiction, which since then has\n\u003cbr\u003ebecome a necessary framework for both the theory and practice of literature in Western tradition, was for the first time separated from non-fiction and given a status of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46059446665454,"sku":"9780198150954","price":308.13,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780198150954.jpg?v=1736499780","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/the-birth-of-literary-fiction-in-ancient-greece","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
