Today we do not expect poems to carry scientifically valid information. But it was not always so. In 'Sweet Science', Amanda Jo Goldstein returns to the beginnings of the division of labor between literature and science to recover a tradition of Romantic life writing for which poetry was a privileged technique of empirical inquiry. Goldstein puts apparently literary projects, such as William Blake's poetry of embryogenesis, Goethe's journals 'On Morphology', and Percy Shelley's "poetry of life," back into conversation with the openly poetic life sciences of Erasmus Darwin, J.G. Herder, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, and Etienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire. Such poetic sciences, Goldstein argues, share in reviving Lucretius's 'De rerum natura' to advance a view of biological life as neither self-organized nor autonomous, but rather dependent on the collaborative and symbolic processes that give it viable and recognizable form. They summon 'De rerum natura' for a logic of life resistant to the vitalist stress on self-authorizing power and to make a monumental case for poetry's role in the perception and communication of empirical realities. The first dedicated study of this mortal and materialist dimension of Romantic biopoetics, 'Sweet Science' opens a through-line between Enlightenment materialisms of nature and Marx's coming historical materialism.

De Lucrèce on croit tout savoir : un éclair, le De rerum natura, qui troua la nuit où sombrait la République romaine, entre guerres civiles et religions à mystères, portant la bonne nouvelle du rationalisme grec et de l'hédonisme épicurien. Puis l'oubli, au Moyen Age. Oubli délibéré de la part du christianisme triomphant, désireux d'étouffer toute dissidence. La redécouverte enfin, par les humanistes qui, en imposant l'oeuvre malgré tous les interdits, feront naître le monde moderne.Mais tout cela n'est que mythes. Mythe du poète hors des normes de son temps, mythe d'un Moyen Age obscur, mythe de l'humaniste éclairé parti seul sur les routes à la redécouverte d'un passé disparu. Pierre Vesperini plonge à même les sources, antiques, médiévales et modernes, et déjoue le filtre de l'historiographie dominante. Dénouant un à un les fils de l'histoire supposée des origines de notre modernité, il éclaire de manière fascinante l'apport de l'héritage antique à notre culture européenne.
