Notă biografică

Titus Lucretius Carus (who diedc.50 BC) was an Epicurean poet writing in the middle years of the first century BC. His six-book Latin hexameter poemDe rerum naturasurvives virtually intact, although it is disputed whether he lived to put the finishing touches to it. As well as being a pioneering figure in the history of philosophical poetry, Lucretius has come to be our primary source of information on Epicurean physics, the official topic of his poem.


A. E. Stallings was born in 1968. She grew up in Decatur, GA, and was educated at the University of Georgia and Oxford University in classics. Her poetry has appeared inThe Best American Poetry(1994 and 2000) and has received numerous awards, including a Pushcart Prize (Pushcart Prize Anthology XXII), the 1997 Eunice Tietjens Prize fromPoetryand the third annual James Dickey Prize fromFive Points.

Richard Jenkyns is Professor of the Classical Tradition, University of Oxford, a Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall and author of a number of books includingDignity and Decadence: Some Classical Aspects of Victorian Art and ArchitectureandThe Victorians and Ancient Greece.
