Description
New essays by an international team of scholars in Latin literature and ancient philosophy explore the understanding of emotions (or "passions") in Roman thought (especially philosophy and rhetorical theory) and literature. Special features include the wide range of Latin authors discussed (including such famous Latin prose and verse writers as Cicero and Virgil), the fresh and searching studies of key literary texts and the accessibility of the book, in clear and nontechnical language, with Greek and Latin translated.
Reviews"...essays in this volume-such as those on Seneca, Tacitus, Statius, and Roman rhetoric-...open up some valuable perspectives on the Aeneid . Karl Galinsky, Vergilius
