Lucretian Receptions: History, the Sublime, Knowledge
Hardie, Philip (Trinity College, Cambridge)
Lucretius' 'De rerum natura' exercised a major influence on the leading poets of Augustan Rome, Virgil and Horace, and created an important model for later poets. This book makes significant claims for the reception of Lucretius' scientific poem, considering the themes of history and time, the sublime and knowledge.
