Ennius Noster

Lucretius and the Annales

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Contrary to critical consensus, Jason S. Nethercut argues that throughout the De Rerum Natura, Lucretius' use of Ennius' Annales as a formal model for a long discursive poem in epic meter was neither inevitable nor predictable, and was in fact used to dismantle the values for which Ennius stood.
