They achieve their goals by incorporating the novella into the Aristotelian poetic tradition. Although the novella was never mentioned by the Greek philosopher, Lugo y Dávila and Bonciani argue that this newer genre is like tragedy, epic, and comedy, in that they are all representations of human action. Both critics thus establish a connection between the novella and the fable, which Aristotle identifies as the very soul of tragedy.While transferring}, bookauthor = {CARMEN R.
