On October 4, 2011, Stephen Greenblatt spoke at Politics & Prose about his book, The Swerve: How the World Became Modern (W. W. Norton, $26.95).
Could a book change the world? In Stephen Greenblatt’s illuminating study of the Renaissance, the answer is yes, and the book is On the Nature of Things by the Roman philosopher Lucretius. Greenblatt, a Harvard Shakespeare scholar and author of the bestselling Will in the World, presents Lucretius’s ideas, shows whom they impressed and why, and demonstrates their pivotal and ongoing influence.
