"In 1417, Poggio Bracciolini discovers Lucretius’ ancient poem, “On the Nature of Things.” This poem had been lost for more than a thousand years and its ideas threatened contemporary views of science and human contentment. Its return to circulation altered the entire course of history, and Greenblatt writes about this shift in an accessible, meaningful way."
