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. 410 0$aClassical presences. 606 $aDidactic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aGreek & Latin Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 607 $aEurope$xIntellectual life$xRoman influences$vCongresses 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2fast 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2lcgft 608 $aEssays.$2lcgft 615 0$aDidactic poetry, Latin$xHistory and criticism 615 7$aGreek & Latin Languages & Literatures 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 676 $a871/.01 702 $aHardie$b Philip R 702 $aHardie$b Philip R 702 $aHarrison$b Stephen J 702 $aHarrison$b Stephen J 702 $aNorbrook$b David 702 $aNorbrook$b David 712 02$aUniversity of Oxford.$bCentre for Early Modern Studies, 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157822203321 996 $aLucretius and the early modern$91556740 997 $aUNINA
