Publisher's Synopsis
The Pattern of Sound in Lucretius is a book written by Rosamund E. Deutsch that focuses on the literary techniques and poetic style used by the ancient Roman poet Lucretius in his epic philosophical poem, De Rerum Natura (On the Nature of Things). The book explores the intricate patterns of sound and rhythm in Lucretius' poetry, and how they contribute to the overall meaning and impact of the work. Deutsch analyzes the use of meter, alliteration, assonance, and other sound devices in Lucretius' writing, and shows how they create a musical quality that enhances the philosophical themes and ideas expressed in the poem. The book is intended for scholars and students of classical literature, as well as anyone interested in the art of poetry and its relationship to philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
