Episode 5 - Ars Poetica

Episode Five of "The History of Literary Criticism" podcast. Today I will be discussing Ars Poetica by Horace. This is quite a complicated work and I really enjoyed reading about it, so the episode is a little longer than usual today. First I’ll discuss Horace’s biography, then some general comments about the form of Ars Poetica, then the summary of the content and general responses, as in previous episodes.
