Untersuchungen zur Eigenart von Senecas Phoenissen. - PAUL, A.,
KORTE INHOUD
'It is impossible (...) to do justice to the author's many penetrating views and his really constructive approach to the criticism of Seneca's drama. Familiarity with the discussions of foreign scholars may have led him to qualify some of his overconfident statements about chronology and about Seneca's aims and intentions (...). But this type of investigation into the technique, the style, and the various problems presented by the text of the individual tragedies might well set a precedent. The time has come to study the whole corpus of Seneca's plays, not as weak imitations of Greek drama, not as 'suasoriae' or 'declamationes', but as Seneca's original adaptation of the dramatic genre to fill a new need and to perform a new function, that of creating for the Roman public heroic types to exemplify the Stoic conception of man and of the human condition.' (BERTHE M. MARTI in The Journal of Roman Studies, 1955, pp.233-34).
