Each of Seneca's plays is examined in detail, locating the force of Senecan drama not only in the moral complexity of the texts and their representations of power, violence, history, suffering and the self, but the semiotic interplay of text, tradition and culture.The later chapters focus on Seneca's influence on Italian, English and French drama of the Renaissance.

It will provide readers and directors of Seneca's plays with the essential critical guide to their intellectual, cultural and dramatic complexity.…
