Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the authorship and philosophical implications of the nine plays attributed to Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca. The author challenges the common assumption that all the plays were created by Seneca, providing detailed philological and historical evidence to make the case for multiple authors. Working chronologically, the text places each play within its historical and literary context, highlighting the ways in which they reflect the turbulent times in which they were written. Seneca's influence on later writers, including Shakespeare, is also considered. This book will appeal to students of drama, history, philosophy, as well as general readers interested in the dynamics of this creative period. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
