This book is a challenging investigation of the idea of literary mimesis in the light of contemporary literary theory.

The book is not merely expository however: one of the author's aims is to engage with much of the polemical debate which has surrounded the topic, in the belief that a recognition of the historical conditions determining both the theory and practice of mimesis must be recovered.
