From its flamboyant beginning in the second half of the third century BC, through the late republic and into the early empire, Roman tragedy was at the center of the city's cultural and political life. Anthony J. Boyle's landmark introduction is the first detailed cultural and theatrical history of this major literary form. Boyle not only plots the history of Roman tragic techniques and conventions of generic formation and change, of the debt of Rome to Greece and one text to another, but in addition traces the birth, development, and death of Roman tragedy within the context of the city's evolving institutions, ideologies, and political and social practices.
A. J. Boyle is Professor of Classics at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, and editor of the classical literary journal, Ramus. His previous publications include: The Eclogues of Virgil, Seneca Tragicus, The Chaonian Dove, Seneca's Phaedra, The Imperial Muse, Roman Epic, Seneca's Troades, Roman Literature and Ideology, Tragic Seneca, Ovid and the Monuments. He has also co-edited, with J. P. Sullivan, Roman Poets of the Early Empire and Martial in English, with R. D. Woodard, Ovid's Fasti, and with W. J. Dominik, Flavian Rome.
