Description
Seneca's letters offer a unique window into Stoic self-improvement and Roman attitudes towards slavery, gladiatorial combat, and suicide. This selection of letters provides insight into Seneca's range and variety, with a focus on the earlier part of his collection.
A general introduction sets each letter in context, drawing out its themes and exploring the historical context within which they were written. The edition also includes brief introductory essays for each letter, as well as commentary to explain more challenging aspects of Seneca's Latin.
Valuable for students and scholars of Seneca's moral and intellectual development, this edition provides a nuanced understanding of his engagement with Stoic and Epicurean ideas.
