This collection of essays does an excellent job of making Seneca a more accessible author for first-time readers, and it will prove an essential resource for more advanced Senecan scholars.... these essays comprise a necessary and very useful starting point for anyone interested in Senecan study; they also provide for novice students myriad access points for reading beyond the surface of any Senecan work.
Lisl Walsh, The Classical Outlook
Seneca was a man of many facets: statesman, dramatist, philosopher, prose stylist. His life was marked by extremes of fortune - extremes that are reflected in much of his writing, and in the vicissitudes of his reputation in later centuries. This volume brings together some outstanding essays written about him over the past four decades, and illustrates the diversity of approaches by which modern critics have attempted to understand this multifaceted figure. Just as Seneca's writings often reflect his times, so current critical approaches often reflect issues in contemporary thought and society. Several of the essays have been revised by their authors for this volume, and two of them are translated for the first time. A new introduction places the articles within the context of recent academic thought and criticism. All Latin has been translated.
