    Myth and Poetry in Lucretius.Monica R. Gale - 1994 - Cambridge University Press.
    The employment of mythological language and imagery by an Epicurean poet - an adherent of a system not only materialist, but overtly hostile to myth and poetry - is highly paradoxical. This apparent contradiction has often been ascribed to a conflict in the poet between reason and intellect, or to a desire to enliven his philosophical material with mythological digressions.

    Man and Beast in Lucretius and the Georgics.Monica R. Gale - 1991 - Classical Quarterly 41 (02):414-.

  5. Conington's Virgil: Georgics.Philip Hardie & Monica R. Gale (eds.) - 2008 - Liverpool University Press.
    John Conington was a towering figure in Victorian scholarship, not least because of his remarkably sensitive and literate commentaries on Virgil’s _Aeneid. _The three-volume cloth edition of _The Works of Virgil_, begun by Conington in 1852, has been unavailable for over a century, except in rare second-hand sets. Now, for the first time, the whole of Conington’s work is being reissued in a set of six paperback volumes. Each volume includes a new introduction by an established scholar, setting Conington's commentary (...)
