Recenzii
Soldo has provided students of Seneca, both scholars and beginners, with a valuable study tool that will enhance our understanding and appreciation of Book 2 and Seneca's art of composition significantly.
I enjoyed reading Soldo's commentary and it forced me to read Seneca's letters in new ways. Her command of the primary and secondary sources as well as her close reading of these texts as literary documents (underscoring Seneca's careful deployment of metaphor, word play, and allusive depth) reveals many details that could be easily overlooked. The commentary makes one appreciate the care Seneca devoted to his letters and to the creation of this book. I can only hope it will lead to more commentaries of this sort. Book 3 anyone?
