The Roman statesman, philosopher and playwright Lucius Annaeus
Seneca dramatically influenced the progression of Western thought.
His works have had an unparalleled impact on the development of
ethical theory, shaping a code of behavior for dealing with tyranny
in his own age that endures today. This Companion thoroughly
examines the complete Senecan corpus, with special emphasis on the
aspects of his writings that have challenged interpretation. The
authors place Seneca in the context of the ancient world and trace
his impressive legacy in literature, art, religion, and politics
from Neronian Rome to the early modern period. Through critical
discussion of the recent proliferation of Senecan studies, this
volume compellingly illustrates how the perception of Seneca and
his particular type of Stoicism has evolved over time. It provides
a comprehensive overview that will benefit students and scholars in
classics, comparative literature, history, philosophy and political
theory, as well as general readers.
