Latin Literature from Seneca to Juvenal

G.O. Hutchinson presents a close and wide-ranging analysis of a period in Latin literature which is beginning to arouse considerable new interest. He embraces both poetry and prose, and offers close literary discussion of a large number of particular passages. A selective and comparative study, it throws fresh light on the period as a whole, on individual authors, and on differences and affinities between genres. Most space is given to epic and tragedy, and to the prose of Seneca and Tacitus; but Juvenal, Martial, the Younger Pliny, and other authors are also treated. All Latin in the text is translated.
