Book Synopsis Virgil on the Nature of Things by : Monica R. Gale
Download or read book Virgil on the Nature of Things written by Monica R. Gale and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Georgics has for many years been a source of fierce controversy among scholars of Latin literature. Is the work optimistic or pessimistic, pro- or anti-Augustan? Should we read it as a eulogy or a bitter critique of Rome and her imperial ambitions? This book suggests that the ambiguity of the poem is the product of a complex and thorough-going engagement with earlier writers in the didactic tradition: Hesiod, Aratus and - above all - Lucretius. Drawing on both traditional, philological approaches to allusion, and modern theories of intertextuality, it shows how the world-views of the earlier poets are subjected to scrutiny and brought into conflict with each other. Detailed consideration of verbal parallels and of Lucretian themes, imagery and structural patterns in the Georgics forms the basis for a reading of Virgil's poem as an extended meditation on the relations between the individual and society, the gods and the natural environment.

This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Book of T. Lucretius Carus of the Nature of Things Whatever may be the defects of the translation the merit of the original will admit of no dispute. As a poet, Lucretius is Justly entitled to the first place among the votaries of the Ausonian muse. His work presents us with the most curious monu ment of ancient philosophy. Qit abounds in pro found argumentation, excellent moral reflections, and sublime descriptions - descriptions whose bor rowed splendour has shone in the Chaplet of many a poet, and whose beauty every man of taste must admire. Horace and Virgil, both of whom he sur passed in the grand characteristic of genius, invan. Tion, did not scorn to drink from the stream of his song. He excels in beauty and variety; but'he is chiefly distinguished by a natural ease and simpli city, by a rapid flow and inexhaustible exuberance of arguments on his favourite topic, and by thc'con stant exercise of a conscious superiority approach.

Book Synopsis Virgil's Experience by : Richard Jenkyns
Download or read book Virgil's Experience written by Richard Jenkyns and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 1998-11-26 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies Virgil's ideas of nature, history, sense of nation, and sense of identity. It is exact and patient in its probing for nuance and detail, but also bold, wide, and original in its scope. It combines the study of Virgil with the study of attitudes to nature throughout antiquity. Blending literature with history, and in the case of Lucretius, philosophy, it offers a vision and an interpretation of the culture of the 1st century BC as a whole. It argues that Lucretius and Virgil affected a revolution in Western sensibility; claiming that a book about poetry should be a book about life, it combines scholarship and precision with a sense of the importance of literature and its capacity to enhance our understanding of our past and of ourselves.

Book Synopsis The Lucretian Renaissance by : Gerard Passannante
Download or read book The Lucretian Renaissance written by Gerard Passannante and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-11-25 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With The Lucretian Renaissance, Gerard Passannante offers a radical rethinking of a familiar narrative: the rise of materialism in early modern Europe. Passannante begins by taking up the ancient philosophical notion that the world is composed of two fundamental opposites: atoms, as the philosopher Epicurus theorized, intrinsically unchangeable and moving about the void; and the void itself, or nothingness. Passannante considers the fact that this strain of ancient Greek philosophy survived and was transmitted to the Renaissance primarily by means of a poem that had seemingly been lost—a poem insisting that the letters of the alphabet are like the atoms that make up the universe. By tracing this elemental analogy through the fortunes of Lucretius’s On the Nature of Things, Passannante argues that, long before it took on its familiar shape during the Scientific Revolution, the philosophy of atoms and the void reemerged in the Renaissance as a story about reading and letters—a story that materialized in texts, in their physical recomposition, and in their scattering. From the works of Virgil and Macrobius to those of Petrarch, Poliziano, Lambin, Montaigne, Bacon, Spenser, Gassendi, Henry More, and Newton, The Lucretian Renaissance recovers a forgotten history of materialism in humanist thought and scholarly practice and asks us to reconsider one of the most enduring questions of the period: what does it mean for a text, a poem, and philosophy to be “reborn”?

Book Synopsis Lucretian Receptions by : Philip Hardie
Download or read book Lucretian Receptions written by Philip Hardie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucretius' 'De rerum natura', one of the greatest Latin poems, worked a powerful fascination on Virgil and Horace, and continued to be an important model for later poets in antiquity and after, including Milton. This innovative set of studies on the reception of Lucretius is organized round three major themes: history and time, the sublime, and knowledge. The 'De rerum natura' was foundational for Augustan poets' dealings with history and time in the new age of the principate. It is also a major document in the history of the sublime; Virgil and Horace engage with the Lucretian sublime in ways that exercised a major influence on the sublime in later antique and Renaissance literature. The 'De rerum natura' presents a confident account of the ultimate truths of the universe; later didactic and epic poets respond with varying degrees of certainty or uncertainty to the challenge of Lucretius' Epicurean gospel.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Virgil, Vol. 1 of 4: In Latin and English There are few 1mages and fentiments in the Eclogues of Virgil, but what are drawn from the Idylliums Of Theocritus in whom there is a rural, romantic wildnefs of thought, heightened by the Doric dialeét with fuch lively pictures Of the pallions, and of limple unadomed nature, as are infinitely pleafing to foch lovers andjudges Of true poetry as yourfelf. Theocritus is indeed the great fiore-houfe Of pafioral defcription; and every fuc ceeding painter of rural beauty (except thomson in his Seafons, ) hath copied his images from him, without ever looking abroad upon the face of na ture themfelves. And thus a fet of hereditary Objec'ts has been continued from one poet to an other, which have been Often made ufe Of without any propriety either as to age or climate.

Book Synopsis Lucretius: De Rerum NaturaBook III by : Lucretius
Download or read book Lucretius: De Rerum NaturaBook III written by Lucretius and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-08-14 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third book of Lucretius' great poem on the workings of the universe is devoted entirely to expounding the implications of Epicurus' dictum that death does not matter, 'is nothing to us'. The soul is not immortal: it no more exists after the dissolution of the body than it had done before its birth. Only if this fact is accepted can men rid themselves of irrational fears and achieve the state of ataraxia, freedom from mental disturbance, on which the Epicurean definition of pleasure was based. To present this case Lucretius deploys the full range of poetic and rhetorical registers, soberly prohibitive, artfully decorative or passionately emotive as best suits his argument, reinforcing it with vivid and compelling imagery. This new edition has been completely revised, with a considerably enlarged Commentary and a new supplementary introduction taking account of the great amount of new scholarship of the last forty years.
