Media Reviews
"Griffin and Inwood's work breathes new life into this essential and too long neglected text by Seneca." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review) "The translation is excellent: Seneca's Latin is not easy, and the translators successfully turn it into English that is true to the Latin and enjoyable to read." (Choice) "An excellent volume in every way. Seneca's essay has a potential interest for readers going far beyond scholars and students of ancient philosophy, and all those involved have, clearly, made every attempt to make this volume highly accessible and informative. I can think of no translators better qualified to tackle this text, and the end product entirely justifies their efforts." (Phronesis)"
