Review Quotes:
"[An] excellent book." --Sun News Austin
"Harrison combines breadth of coverage with close textual analysis, providing readers with extensive historical, literary, and philosophical context. The work is consistently clear, well organised, and accessible, making it a valuable resource for both students and scholars. As a guide to one of the most challenging and understudied plays in the Senecan corpus, it offers an excellent foundation for future research." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review
