Seneca (Routledge Revivals)

This volume, first published in 1974, offers a selection of modern perspectives on Seneca, covering his prose treatises, his letters and his tragedies. A large part of Seneca is devoted to this later influence at the deliberate expense of not covering all of Seneca’s less familiar works. The Moral Essays, the tragedies and the letters to Lucilius are examined, who also discuss Seneca’s philosophical influence and his heritage in English and neo-Latin literature. Each essay contain is of value to the specialist as well as to students of Latin, English or French literature.
