Description

Explore a fresh perspective on the philosophical foundations of Percy Bysshe Shelley. While scholars often debate whether his work represents skepticism or subjective idealism, this study offers a new interpretation. By placing his intellectual system within the Epicurean tradition of Lucretius, the text presents both poets as theistic empiricists. This academic work examines the connections between Shelley's thought and the classical Epicurean tradition. It provides a detailed analysis of how Lucretius' De Rerum Natura was edited, translated, and interpreted by scholars living around the same time as Shelley. For students and researchers of literary theory and Romanticism, this book provides a necessary framework for understanding the philosophical roots that shape Shelley's poetic vision.

Key Features

Offers a new interpretation of Shelley's thinking by connecting his work to the Epicurean tradition of Lucretius.

Addresses long-standing scholarly debates regarding whether Shelley's stance is one of skepticism or subjective idealism.

Positions both Shelley and Lucretius as theistic empiricists through a rigorous comparative study.

Examines the influence of contemporary Epicurean scholars on the interpretation of De Rerum Natura.

Part of the Studies in Major Literary Authors series from Routledge, designed for academic research.
