Thus the play presented in this volume is not merely classical, but also one translated by an Elizabethan. One question that arises is how Seneca came to be of interest to the Elizabethans, another how we are to read the play as itself a Renaissance artefact, which has a good deal in common with important plays by artists like Shakespeare. In terms of their historical circumstances, their training and artistic structuring, as well as their concerns and 'world picture', Seneca and Shakespeare have many fundamental similarities.

Speech Authors: Daalder, Joost Abstract: In this paper, Professor Daalder is at least as concerned with what he considers to be the beneficial impact of Seneca on Shakespeare (in one important speech), as with the mere fact of Shakespeare's debt to the Roman author. 1984-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/2328/303 Title: Review of "Shakespeare and the Classics" edited by Martindale and Taylor Authors: Daalder, Joost Abstract: A favourable review of "Shakespeare and the Classics", edited by Charles Martindale and A.B.
