EXERCISE 4:
DIRECTION: SUMMARIZATION. SUMMARIZE THE IDEAS OF THE FOLLOWING PROPONENTS IN
LITERARY CRITICISM.

PEOPLE SUMMARY OF VIEWS

In practice, Platonic critique is part of a broader approach

to literature that includes an analysis of a work's moral,
ethical, and historical implications. He introduces the
philosophy of morality, wherein the ultimate is spiritual ,
hence the material world is merely a shadow of the ideals
PLATO of the world.
He discusses the structure (objective), as well as the
aspects of a literary work or the structure. Aristotle's
literary criticism is built on one premise: everything has a
reason and a function. Even his concept of excellent
tragedy emphasizes catharsis as the primary goal of the
ARISTOTLE tragedy.
 The Callimachean preoccupation with the big-small
antithesis, the opposition between short, subtle,
sophisticated craftsmanship and crude, over-inflated,
bombastic work, has received much attention in Horace's
literary criticism. He introduces the essence and delight of
imitating other poets.
HORACE
Not only did he give voice to his country's growing folk
culture, but Italian became the literary language of
Western Europe for several decades. Dante composed
substantial theoretical writings in addition to poetry,
spanning from discussions of rhetoric to moral philosophy
DANTE ALIGHEIRI and political theory. He also discussed the significance of
language in literature.
Sidney wrote numerous key Elizabethan works, including
the first Elizabethan sonnet cycle, Astrophel and Stella,
and Arcadia, an epic prose novel. He was also well-known
for his literary criticism, which was titled The Defense of
Poesy. He is the first ever English poet, an eclectic in
critique, and his view of poetry represents the truth.
