This text is a translation of Lucretius' poem which adheres faithfully to the text, yet with poetic force, accuracy, and humanitas and includes introduction, notes, and a glossary of philosophical terms cross-referenced to use throughout the poem.

"Englert's translation of the poems is indeed accurate and readable. He knows the poem as thoroughly as he knows the scholarship that bears on it. an admirable translation, admirably supported by scholarly tools..." -- W R Johnson, University of Chicago.
