Shelf Inflicted:
THE SWERVE: How the World Became Modern by Stephen Greenblatt
Reviewed by Richard, 5* of five...
I found the above review to be a well written summary of how one example of a re-discovered poem from antiquity changed how we think today.
This review demonstrates how reading this book, and of reading the original poem De rerum natura by Lucretius to understand how the philosophy of the Humanists and the works of Epicurus are both important and relevant today.
