Within this field there has been a continued but arguably fractured questioning of this enduring relationship. I propose that there have been within the modern age two main lines of…

In chapter 9 of the Poetics, Aristotle famously claims that poetry is “more philosophic” than history. He grounds this claim in the apparent fact that while universals drive the action of poetry, particulars drive the action of history. In an historical composition, a particular thing happens because a particular person did it at some point in the past, but in poetry, a particular thing happens because it is what is likely according to a universal principle. The particular action in a poetic…
