J. Breitinger's \u003ci\u003eCritische Dichtkunst\u003c\/i\u003e (1740) with regard to a heretofore neglected aspect of aesthetics in the early eighteenth century, namely how poesis and historiography could increasingly come to resemble each other in their assumptions, purposes, and methods of representation. The central argument states that historians of this period began to utilize the concept of historical perspectivism only after its development as an interpretive tool by the aesthetic thinkers of the early Enlightenment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe \u003ci\u003eCritische Dichtkunst\u003c\/i\u003e is examined in terms of three disparate traditions: the modern reception of Aristotle's \u003ci\u003ePoetics\u003c\/i\u003e, Horace's \u003ci\u003eArs poetica\u003c\/i\u003e, and the Quarrel between the Ancients and the Moderns; the model of consciousness proposed by Leibniz that describes the mind as a ceaseless process of historical intellective integration; and the German reception of French neoclassical authors, especially Dubos, whose notion of historical probability was radicalized by Breitinger and later appropriated by poets and historians alike. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jill Anne Kowalik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469656620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469656625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Jill Anne Kowalik","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45980892627199,"sku":"9781469656625","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cb6c8653-cf56-4c59-b20c-8e30e57ba3b6.jpg?v=1722417083","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-poetics-of-historical-perspectivism-jill-anne-kowalik-9781469656625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
