The purpose of this edition is to demonstrate the quality and
interest of book VI: the intellectual curiosity of the analyst of
earthquakes, volcanoes and marvellous phenomena, the rhetorical and
philosophical powers of a thinker who wants to make his
interpretation of Epicureanism both cogent and vivid, the deep
humane compassion of the chronicler of the Plague at Athens, the
sheer brilliance of the poet whose verse inspired all later writers
in the tradition. This edition of the book is designed to make the
poem accessible to readers who have not picked up Lucretius before
and so the background has been treated as fully as possible. Latin
text with facing-page translation.
