They offer an urgent guide to Stoic self-improvement but also cast light on Roman attitudes towards slavery, gladiatorial combat and suicide. This selection of letters conveys their range and variety, with a particular focus on letters from the earlier part of the collection. As well as a general introduction, it features a brief introductory essay on each letter, which draws out its themes and sets it in context. The commentary explains the more challenging aspects of Seneca's Latin. It also casts light on his engagement with Stoic (and Epicurean) ideas, on the historical context within which the letters were written and on their literary sophistication. This edition will be invaluable for undergraduate and graduate students and scholars of Seneca's moral and intellectual development.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBBook Series: Cambridge Greek and Latin ClassicsGenre: Literary CriticismTopic: Language & Reference, Philosophy & SpiritualityAuthor: SenecaRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
