    It's a great book. It introduces you to the "literature history" and how it has been influenced by a lot of things, specially philosophy and critical theory.

    Another really good feature is at the end of the book there's a list with a lot of recommended books if you want to go further.

    A poet, unlike a maker of tables, for example, creates only second-hand representations. The poet’s imitation of, say, a table is, for Plato, an imitation of an imitation, insofar as the table-maker’s table is itself only an imitation of the essential, or divine, form of the table.

    The Theory of Forms
    The decision to exclude poets from the republic is based on Plato’s suspicion of mimesis, or imitation, which is regarded as an artificial, or untruthful, deviation from the true essence of things. This is based on Plato’s theory of forms.

    It is also, in another sense, one of the earliest surviving examples of literary criticism.
