"The collection provides a concise yet thorough picture of Seneca’s tragedies throughout the centuries and contributes both to contextualizing the history of classical reception and to understanding how European drama developed and continues to reinvent itself today." - Mary Hamil Gilbert, in: Religious Studies Review 42 (2016) 3
"[U]n précieux outil de référence pour tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’histoire des tragédies et du théâtre latin en général, à la diffusion de Sénèque, à la circulation des idées et des formes artistiques antiques du Moyen-Âge à nos jours.(...) Nous saluerons la clarté de la présentation ainsi que le soin apporté à l’orthographe et à la ponctuation, tel que nous n’avons relevé aucune coquille." - P. Paré-Rey, in: BMCR 2017.07.49
"[A] praiseworthy and beneficial publication, which should also be valued for the English translations from Latin and other languages – this makes the book accessible to a wider circle of readers. (...) [T]hroughout the collection of all texts a red thread weaves, bringing the fascinating realization that, with the exception of certain periods (middle ages and partly 19th century, when his influences was temporarily muted), Seneca “is a perennial contemporary and that his drama is like a cracked mirror in which almost any unsettled age finds its reflection” (R. Remshardt, p. 300)." - Daniela Čadková, in: Eirene LIV 2018
