diverse scholarly, literary and theatrical receptions of Seneca's tragedies. The tragedies, influential throughout the Roman world well beyond Seneca's time, plunge into obscurity in Late Antiquity and nearly disappear during the Middle Ages. Profound consequences follow from the rediscovery of a dusty manuscript containing nine plays attributed to Seneca: it is seminal to both the renaissance of tragedy and the birth of Humanism. Canonical Western writers from Antiquity to the present have revisited, transformed, and eviscerated Senecan precedents to develop, in Dodson-Robinson's words, \'competing tragic visions of agency and the human place in the universe.\' |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This study analyzes the ironic nature of the social treatment of women during the French Revolution. While the allegorical figure of womanhood came to symbolize the virtues of the new French Republic, the book describes how women in France were continually repressed and down-trodden. |
