One of the most flagrant instances of a disregard of historical continuity in the exposition of a literary subject is that of Hartmann. Not only does he consider the contributions of the ancients to the subject of Aesthetics as of no moment. But declares that Aristotle's Poetics hafi an undeserved reputation I Now we certainly are no advocates of but not only is it right to remember that without the labors of our predecessors we should not be where we are today, but modern critical writings simply cannot be understood without a knowledge of the Poetics - just as ancient philosophy (which also Hartman despises) was a necessary and inevitable precursor of modern thought.
