Senecan Influence on Shylock's "Hath Not a Jew Eyes?" Speech
(Routledge, part of the Taylor & Francis group, 1984)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. -

Shakespeare's "The Rape of Lucrece"

The Text of “King Lear” 2.2.136-145 in the ‘Arden 3’ Edition
