This book contains nine essays on Lucius Annaeus Seneca, distinguished Stoic Philosopher, creative writer, and Statesman of the Neronian Age. As author of epistles, treatises, dialogues, dramas, and epigrams, he produced a variety of works that enriched Rome's literary achievement. Like the previous volumes - Essays on Seneca (Peter Lang, 1993) and Further Essays on Seneca (Peter Lang, 2001) - this book presents an in-depth analysis of the Cordoban Philosopher's thoughts and portrays his erudition, humanitas, artistry, and deep psychological understanding of the frailties and strengths of human nature.

The Author: As Professor of Classics, Anna Lydia Motto has taught in various universities, including Alfred University, St. John’s University, Drew University, and the University of South Florida. She received her Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina, where she held a Fellowship. The author has published seven books and numerous articles on Seneca. She is the recipient of a number of awards including a Fulbright Grant to the American Academy in Rome and an Ovatio for Outstanding Scholarship from the CAMWS.

lt;i>Contents: Essays dealing with Seneca's thoughts on the emotions, love, envy, anger, the bestowal of benefits, the quest for the vita beata, old age, exercise and fitness, and evil.
