Poetics (Dover Thrift Editions) Among the most influential books in Western civilization, the Poetics is really a treatise on fine art. It offers seminal ideas on the nature of drama, tragedy, poetry, music and more, including such concepts as catharsis, the tragic flaw, unities of time and place and other rules of drama. This inexpensive edition enables readers to enjoy the critical insights of one humanity’s greatest minds laying the foundations for thought about the arts. $1.50

Notes for 200X Drama

2007 vtheatre.net

I consider this class 100 level (200x core) and a "must step" for any theatre and film courses.
I have to teach it in other classes, since most likely it's the first aesthetics course for my students in DramLit or Film & Drama (see CLASSES directory).
The textbooks are good -- and very expensive.
Although, there is a plenty of free texts and images online!
