Lucretius' presence in later prose writers, on the other hand, is a topic that warrants more investigation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSusanne Gatzemeier's 2013 monograph (\u003cem\u003eUt ait Lucretius: Die Lukrezrezeption in der lateinischen Prosa bis Laktanz\u003c\/em\u003e) is an invaluable contribution to the topic but by no means exhaustive either in terms of the potential intertextualities it traces or in terms of its interpretive methods and insights. At the same time, recent studies implicate Lucretius' name in discussions of prose writers who were not that often thought in the past to have engaged with the \u003cem\u003eDe Rerum Natura\u003c\/em\u003e in an active way. Caesar and Livy but also Vitruvius and Tacitus are some good examples. The present volume taps into this discussion and broadens further our understanding of Lucretian reception in prose writers, including Cicero, Celsus, Seneca the Younger, Quintilian, Pliny the Younger, Plutarch and Lactantius. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding on the vast scholarship on the significance of Lucretius as a model for later poets, the volume sheds new light on the \u003cem\u003eDe Rerum Natura\u003c\/em\u003e's afterlife by looking at its presence in philosophical prose, medical writing, oratory, epistolary writing and Christian theology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Kazantzidis\u003c\/strong\u003e, University of Patras, Patras, Greece. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 03, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51753183346976,"sku":"9783111443669","price":188.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/d7c808ba0a0c44b7cab2f477c4379647.webp?v=1780014609","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/lucretian-receptions-in-prose-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
