Envied by Caligula, exiled by Claudius and finally executed by his pupil Nero, the playwright and philosopher Seneca the Younger (c. 4 B.C.-A.D. 65) wrote in a violent, epigrammatic and extreme style which has often seemed excessive to those living in calmer times. This selection of translations, adaptations and variations opens in the 1550s, focuses on the Renaissance and closes in the 1990s, vividly demonstrating Seneca's powerful, continuing presence in English poetry.
