'J.A.Boyle's Tragic Senecahas redeemed the Latin playwright from the purgatory of Eliot's "second rank", and raised him to a place in the pantheon of genuine dramatic artists. He has made 1997 a true vintage year indeed.'- Times Literary Supplement 'Tragic Seneca: an Essay in the Theatrical Traditionis a very successful compromise between general introduction and scholarly monograph. ....His book presents a persuasive and sophisticated reading of Senecan Tragedy in its historicala and political context, and of Renaissance receptions. Boyle includes a useful general introduction to Roman drama up to the Neronian period, arguing forcefully that Seneca's plays were written for stage performance, and also discusses the playwright's declamatory style; the moral and theological aspects of the plays; dramatic technique..., intertextuality; metatheater, and the tendency of Seneca's characters to self-dramatization. ... Boyle writes in a lively and readable style, which will be accessible to the beginner as well as the expert, and conveys a strong sense of the plays as exciting and challenging drama.'- Greece and Rome 'This book has a great deal to offer, particularly to undergraduates.'- Journal of Roman Studies, 'J.A.Boyle's Tragic Seneca has redeemed the Latin playwright from the purgatory of Eliot's "second rank", and raised him to a place in the pantheon of genuine dramatic artists.

Waste of money
Do not waste your time I got it. Before I even put up it was all messed up. Improper instructions. Total waste of money and most of all waste of time for waiting for it and trying to put it up.
