Trends in Classics , a new series and journal to be edited by Franco Montanari and Antonios Rengakos, will publish innovative, interdisciplinary work which brings to the study of Greek and Latin texts the insights and methods of related disciplines such as narratology, intertextuality, reader-response criticism, and oral poetics. Both publications will seek to publish research across the full range of classical antiquity.

The series Trends in Classics Studies welcomes monographs, edited volumes, conference proceedings and collections of papers; it will provide an important forum for the ongoing debate about where Classics fits in modern cultural and historical studies.

The journal will be published twice a year with approx. 160 pp. per issue. Each year one issue will be devoted to a specific subject with articles edited by a guest editor.

Das Buch wendet sich an Fachleute ebenso wie Studierende und das allgemeine Publikum. Es präsentiert eine ungewöhnliche Vielfalt von Beiträgern verschiedener Generationen, Fachrichtungen und nationaler Wissenskulturen, teilweise zum ersten Mal überhaupt in Englisch. Gemeinsam betonen sie die Einheit von Senecas Oeuvre und seine Originalität als Mittler stoischen Gedankenguts in den literarischen Formen des Prinzipats.
