Re: Seneca and Pliny

There's an interesting thing, about twenty pages, by John Schafer: "Seneca’s Epistulae Morales as Dramatized Education" Classical Philology 106.1 (January 2011) 32-52. I'm not 100% convinced by his argument, but he offers a coherent way to read the whole set of Senecan letters, and the article isn't too horribly long. It's on JSTOR.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [CLASSICS-L] Seneca and Pliny

Hello, all.
For the first time in several years I'm teaching a 3rd-semester Latin class on "Roman Letters," focusing on Seneca and Pliny. I'd like the students to start reading some scholarship, and I'd be most grateful for recommendations of accessible articles, in English, that you've found useful. It would be even better if they were available through Jstor or Project Muse.
many thanks in advance,
Andy SzM
