This volume, first published in 1974, offers a selection of modern
perspectives on Seneca, covering his prose treatises, his letters
and his tragedies. For centuries literary and philosophical circles
had to take Seneca seriously, even if they could not always respect
him, and although his reputation has fluctuated, there has been a
revival of interest in his achievements. Accordingly, 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 by the contributors, who also discuss Seneca's
philosophical influence and the Senecan heritage in English and
neo-Latin literature. Each essay contains insightful and sometimes
controversial material, which is of value to the specialist as well
as to students of Latin, English or French literature.
