Book description

This monograph is devoted to the most important of Seneca's tragedies, Thyestes, which has had a notable influence on Western drama from Shakespeare to Antonin Artaud. Thyestes emerges as the mastertext of 'Silver' Latin poetry, and as an original reflection on the nature of theatre comparable to Euripides' Bacchae. The book analyses the complex structure of the play, its main themes, the relationship between Seneca's vibrant style and his obsession with dark issues of revenge and regression. Substantial discussion of other plays - especially Trojan Women, Oedipus and Medea - permits a comprehensive re-evaluation of Seneca's poetics and its pivotal role in post-Virgilian literature. Topics explored include the relationship between Seneca's plays and his theory of the emotions, the connection between poetic inspiration and the Underworld, and Seneca's treatment of time, which, in a perspective informed by psychoanalysis, is seen as a central preoccupation of Senecan tragedy.

Reviews

‘… this book will be essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in imperial Latin literature.’

‘Schiesaro has been one of the most thoughtful and thought-provoking of the scholars engaged in retrieving Seneca’s reputation from the short-sighted disdain of those who dismissed his work as suitable only for recitation.’

George W. M. Harrison - University of Crete

'Schiesaro eschews jargon whenever possible, preferring to lead the reader to his conclusions by the force of his arguments and the elegance of his language …'

'… it is hard not to be impressed by the dazzling touches, the sudden insights, that enhance the provocative and generally persuasive argument of this important volume.'
