AUTHOR

Gale, Monica R., Easterling, P. E., Hopkins, M. K.

SUMMARY

"Gale shows that Lucretius approach to myth is complex, and potentionally contradictory, By doing so subtly and convincingly, she is able to overcome once and for all the simplistic and occassionally still-cherished image of a superficially schizoid Lucretius--one whose emphatic professions of Epicureanism are supposedly belied by a deeper sense of scepticism and perhaps outright heresy. The 'De rerum natura' we appreciate in Monica Gale's pages is an enormously rich and excitingly cohesive work, one where dissonances and tensions interact creatively with the poem's doctrinal intention.Gale, Monica R. is the author of 'Myth and Poetry in Lucretius' with ISBN 9780521451352 and ISBN 0521451353.
