The Aesthetics of Mimesis: Ancient Texts and Modern Problems by Stephen Halliwell

A really well-researched book that provides clear analysis of a very complex and often loaded topic-- and he doesn't let anyone off the hook for trying to take shortcuts. Of course, Halliwell's dealt fantastically with his subject matter for years, so I'd expect nothing less.
