《物性论》与19世纪的英美文学De Rerum Natura and Nineteenth-Century Anglo-American Literature
李永毅
摘要(Abstract)：
古罗马诗人卢克莱修的哲学长诗《物性论》深刻影响了近现代西方的思想和文学。与前代相比，19世纪英美作家对他的回应更为复杂和多样。雪莱高度认可卢克莱修的无神论世界观，拜伦和爱伦·坡主要关注《物性论》宇宙论阴郁的一面，阿诺德和丁尼生等维多利亚作家则对人类的局限性更为敏感，深入思考了伊壁鸠鲁哲学与现代社会的冲突。在科学迅速发展、社会急剧变革、思想动荡不安的19世纪，英美作家对《物性论》的阐释抵达了前所未有的深度。
