Publisher's Synopsis
""The Pattern of Sound in Lucretius"" by Rosamund E. Deutsch is a scholarly work that analyzes the use of sound patterns in the poetry of the Roman poet Lucretius. The book explores the ways in which Lucretius used sound to enhance the meaning and impact of his poetry, and how these patterns reflect his philosophical beliefs.Deutsch begins by examining the sounds of individual words in Lucretius' poetry, such as their rhythm, meter, and alliteration. She then goes on to explore the larger patterns of sound that emerge in the poetry, such as the repetition of certain sounds or the use of particular sound combinations.Throughout the book, Deutsch argues that Lucretius' use of sound was not simply decorative, but was an integral part of his philosophical message. She shows how the patterns of sound in Lucretius' poetry reflect his belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the importance of harmony and balance in the natural world.""The Pattern of Sound in Lucretius"" is a valuable resource for scholars of Roman poetry, as well as anyone interested in the relationship between sound and meaning in literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
