Horace : Ars Poetica

- Very influential in shaping European literary and artistic tastes
- Horace, though, was not a philosopher-critic like Plato or Aristotle. He was a poet writing advice in the form of poems with the hope of improving the artistic effort of his contemporaries.
- In Ars Poetica
- He tells writers of plays that a comic subject should not be written in a tragic tone, and vice versa.
- He advises them not to present anything excessively violent or monstrous on stage, and that the deus ex machina should not be used unless absolutely necessary (192-5).
- He tells writers that a play should not be shorter or longer than five acts (190), and that the chorus “should not sing between the acts anything which has no relevance to or cohesion with the plot” (195).
- He advises, further, that poetry should teach and please and that the poem should be conceived as a form of static beauty similar to a painting: ut pictora poesis. (133-5).
-

Each one of these principles would become central in shaping European literary taste.

- Ars Poetica, in Classical Literary Criticism. Reference to line numbers

“Sensibility”

- At the centre of Horace’s ideas is the notion of “sensibility.”
- A poet, according to Horace, who has “neither the ability nor the knowledge to keep the duly assigned functions and tones” of poetry should not be “hailed as a poet.”
- Horace talks about the laws of composition and style, his model of excellence that he wants Roman poets to imitate are the Greeks.
- The notion of “sensibility” that he asks writers to have is a tool that allows him to separate what he calls “sophisticated” tastes (which he associates with Greek books) from the “vulgar,” which Horace always associates with the rustic and popular: hate the profane crowd and

keep it at a distance,” he says in his odes
