مستخلص: "The Erotics of Materialism: Lucretius and Early Modern Poetics" is a book that explores the reception of Lucretian poetics in early modern poetry, focusing on the themes of atomism, eroticism, and the poetic imaginary. The book examines examples of early modern Lucretianism in English and French poetry, highlighting the diverse perspectives and influences of different authors. It demonstrates how Lucretius' poem, "De rerum natura," influenced poets to think about the material world, the interplay between fantasy and reality, and the political stakes of poetry. The book also analyzes the works of John Donne, Lucy Hutchinson, and Margaret Cavendish, showcasing their engagement with Lucretian themes and their own poetic authority. Overall, this study provides a comparative and progressive exploration of the reception of Lucretius in early modern poetry. [Extracted from the article]
