The letters of Seneca are uniquely engaging; they offer an urgent guide to Stoic self-improvement but also cast light on Roman attitudes towards slavery, gladiatorial combat and suicide. This edition of a selection elucidates their language, literary style and distinctive approach to philosophy within their historical context.
