Reviews

This almost 900-page introduction to Seneca is a valuable resource even for scholars whose work focuses on Seneca, since it covers the full range of Seneca's work in philosophy and poetry, a range so wide that no one person can master it. (...) In its comprehensiveness, scholarly depth, and factual density it is very much a work in the Germanic tradition of Pauly-Wissowa, albeit entirely in English. Gregory A. Staley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014.09.20.

Staley, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2014.09.20. The volume (...) offers much material for several groups of users alike. It contains both informative introductions and deeper analysis. (...) The volume is an impressive achievement and seems indispensable for any serious institutional library of classics. Vincent Hunink, Mnemosyne 08.2015.
