This poem offered a vision of the creation of the universe, the origins and goals of human life and the formation of the state, all without reference to divine intervention. This collection of essays demonstrates the sophisticated ways in which some readers assimilated the poem to theories of natural law and even natural theology, while others were both attracted to Lucretius's subversiveness and dissociated themselves from him.Classical presences.Didactic poetry, LatinHistory and criticismCongressesGreek & Latin Languages & LiteraturesHILCCLanguages & LiteraturesHILCCEuropeIntellectual lifeRoman influencesCongressesConference papers and proceedings.fastConference papers and proceedings.lcgftEssays.lcgftDidactic poetry, LatinHistory and criticismGreek & Latin Languages & LiteraturesLanguages & Literatures871/.01Hardie Philip RHardie Philip RHarrison Stephen JHarrison Stephen JNorbrook DavidNorbrook DavidUniversity of Oxford.Centre for Early Modern Studies,PQKBBOOK9910157822203321Lucretius and the early modern1556740UNINA
