"In Brill's Companion to the Reception of Senecan Tragedy, Eric Dodson-Robinson incorporates
essays by specialists working across disciplines and national literatures into a subtle
narrative tracing the diverse scholarly, literary and theatrical receptions of Seneca's
tragedies. The tragedies, influential throughout the Roman world well beyond Seneca's
time, plunge into obscurity in Late Antiquity and nearly disappear during the Middle
Ages. Profound consequences follow from the rediscovery of a dusty manuscript containing
nine plays attributed to Seneca: it is seminal to both the renaissance of tragedy
and the birth of Humanism. Canonical Western writers from Antiquity to the present
have revisited, transformed, and eviscerated Senecan precedents to develop, in Dodson-Robinson's
words, "competing tragic visions of agency and the human place in the universe." Contributors
are: Florence de Caigny, Francesco Citti, Peter J. Davis, Eric Dodson-Robinson, Patrick
Gray, Joachim Harst, Siobhán McElduff, Tomàs Martínez Romero, Ralf Remshardt, Helen
Slaney, Christopher Star, Christopher Trinacty, and Jessica Winston"
