* Seneca, Lucius Annæus. Tragedies of Seneca; tr. into English verse, to which have been appended comparative analyses of the corresponding Greek and Roman plays, and a mythological index. by Frank Justus Miller. *$3. Univ. of Chicago press.
Aside from the fact that Seneca’s tragedies serve as the only connecting link between ancient and modern tragedy, the plays are of value and interest as independent dramatic literature of merit, and also as an illustration of the literary characteristics of the age of Nero. The author has aimed to present to the English reader all of the values accruing from a study of these plays except the benefit to be derived from reading them in the original.
