<b>Reissued to accompany Stephen Greenblatt's <i>The Swerve</i>: the epic poem that changed the course of human thought forever. </b><br><br>This great poem stands with Virgil's <i>Aeneid</i> as one of the vital and enduring achievements of Latin literature. Lost for more than a thousand years, its return to circulation in 1417 reintroduced dangerous ideas about the nature and meaning of existence and helped shape the modern world.
