Book Synopsis Myth and Poetry in Lucretius by : Monica R. Gale
Book excerpt: This book attempts to provide a more positive assessment of Lucretius' aims and methodology by considering the poet's attitude to myth, and the role which it plays in the De Rerum Natura, against the background of earlier and contemporary views.
