Seneca L062 – Tragedies – Hercules, Trojan Women, Phoenician Women, Medea, Phaedra (Trans. Fitch) (Latin): v. 1 (Loeb Classical Library) - Hardcover
Book 10 of 10: Loeb Classical Library: Seneca
Synopsis
Seneca is a figure of first importance in both Roman politics and literature: a leading adviser to Nero who attempted to restrain the emperor's megalomania; a prolific moral philosopher; and the author of verse tragedies that strongly influenced Shakespeare and other Renaissance dramatists. Here is the first of a new two-volume edition of Seneca's tragedies, with a fully annotated translation facing the Latin text. Seneca's plays depict intense passions and interactions in an appropriately strong rhetoric. Their perspective is much bleaker than that of his prose writings. In this new translation John Fitch conveys the force of Seneca's dramatic language and the lyric quality of his choral odes.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. 12mo (17 cm), VIII, 552 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (bookplate). "Seneca, Lucius Annaeus, born at Corduba (Cordova) ca. 4 BCE, of a prominent and wealthy family, spent an ailing childhood and youth at Rome in an aunt's care. He became famous in rhetoric, philosophy, money-making, and imperial service. We have Seneca's philosophical or moral essays (ten of them traditionally called Dialogues)--on providence, steadfastness, the happy life, anger, leisure, tranquility, the brevity of life, gift-giving, forgiveness-- and treatises on natural phenomena. Also extant are 124 epistles, in which he writes in a relaxed style about moral and ethical questions. His moral essays are collected in Volumes I-III of the Loeb Classical Library's ten-volume edition of Seneca." (from the publisher's synopsis). Seller Inventory # 007469
