This is the first commentary to be written in English on Seneca's
"Phoenissae, an intriguing work on account of its unusual structure
and state of incompletion.
The substantial introduction deals, "inter alia, with the question
of the unity and purpose of the work; the absence of an ending and
of choral lyrics; the philosophical, rhetorical, and political
content; Seneca's treatment of the Theban legend. The commentary is
primarily a literary analysis of the text, but textual, linguistic,
metrical, and grammatical difficulties are also elucidated.
With the resurgence of interest in Senecan drama in the last two
decadese, this book is a valuable addition to English commentaries
that appeared on most of the plays.
