Description
About the Book
What did Paul and Seneca contribute to the ancient tradition of consolation? Through detailed readings of their writings on the topic and comparative discussion, this book uncovers both similar and distinctive consolatory discourses and narratives.Book Synopsis
In this monograph, Alex W. Muir shows how Paul and Seneca were significant contributors to an ancient philosophical and rhetorical tradition of consolation. Each writer's consolatory career is surveyed in turn through close readings of key primary texts: chiefly Seneca's three literary consolations and 'Epistles'; and Paul's letters, 1 Thessalonians, 2 Corinthians, and Philippians. A final comparative dialogue highlights the pair's adaptations and innovations within this tradition.Dimensions (Overall): 9.4 Inches (H) x 6.3 Inches (W) x .7 Inches (D)
