Edited by world-renowned classicists Elizabeth Asmis, Shadi Bartsch, and Martha C. Nussbaum, this engaging collection restores Seneca-whose works have been highly praised by modern authors from Desiderius Erasmus to Ralph Waldo Emerson-to his rightful place among the classical writers most widely studied in the humanities.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnger, Mercy, Revenge\u003c\/i\u003e comprises three key writings: the moral essays \u003ci\u003eOn Anger\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOn Clemency\u003c\/i\u003e-which were penned as advice for the then young emperor, Nero-and the \u003ci\u003eApocolocyntosis\u003c\/i\u003e, a brilliant satire lampooning the end of the reign of Claudius.
