Description and Goals

The class will consist of a close reading of Books I and III of the De Rerum Natura.  Larger issues such as the philosophical/cultural context of the poem, the history of its transmission, and its authorship will be considered as well.  Attendance is mandatory; more than one unexcused class absence will result in a deduction from the participation portion of the course grade
