- Summary:
- Like his plays, the life of Seneca (c. 4 B.C.-A.D. 65) contains the dramatic elements of modern tragedy. Shakespeare adapted Senecan principles in his plays, and Seneca's works were imitated by a wide range of later writers. This superb selection of translations, adaptations, and variations--from the 1550s to the 1990s--vividly demonstrates Seneca's continuing presence in English drama and poetry.

- Includes translations and imitations of, as well as poems influenced by, Seneca by various authors.
