Miriam Griffin is emeritus fellow in ancient history at Somerville College. University of Oxford. She is the author of Seneca: A Philosopher in Politics, among other books. Brad Inwood is professor in the Departments of Classics and Philosophy and Canada Research Chair in Ancient Philosophy at the University of Toronto. He is the author of Reading Seneca: Stoic Philosophy at Rome, among other books."Griffin and Inwood's work breathes new life into this essential and too long neglected text by Seneca." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review) "The translation is excellent: Seneca's Latin is not easy, and the translators successfully turn it into English that is true to the Latin and enjoyable to read." (Choice) "An excellent volume in every way. Seneca's essay has a potential interest for readers going far beyond scholars and students of ancient philosophy, and all those involved have, clearly, made every attempt to make this volume highly accessible and informative. I can think of no translators better qualified to tackle this text, and the end product entirely justifies their efforts." (Phronesis)"
