She translated the poem, she explains in a prefatory letter to Lord Anglesey, "out of youthfull curiositie, to understand things I heard so much discourse of at second hand" (fol. 2v); most likely in the early 1650s, when English intellectuals, stimulated by Gassendi's work in France, began to be seriously interested in Lucretius and Epicureanism. - Wikipedia: Lucy Hutchinson (16181681) was an English translator, poet, and biographer, and the first person to translate the complete text of Lucretius's De rerum natura (On the Nature of Things) into English verse, during the years of the Interregnum (16491660).
