Seneca's Characters by Erica M Bexley
This book addresses the much-neglected topic of fictional character and its relationship to actual human identity. Through the lens of Senecan tragedy, it tackles questions of behavioural coherence, imitative exemplarity, physical appearance, psychology, and autonomy. It offers fresh insight into Seneca's powerful tragic aesthetics.-

'[A] learned, searching, and in many ways compelling book … It is not easy to do justice, in a relatively brief review, to the wealth of novel insights that Bexley's close readings of specific passages yield, and to the full complexity of her carefully articulated and often elaborate argumentHer writing is generally lucid and vibrant, with welcome dashes of personality: in this respect, even though her book operates within the parameters of the most influential recent scholarship on Senecan tragedy and its philosophical/psychological properties, she carves out her own space in this crowded field …' Gareth Williams, GNOMON
