The Attitude of Quintilian Toward Seneca

Anne M McCormack, Fordham University

Abstract

The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the attitude of Quintilian toward Seneca, the most eminent writer of the Silver Age. Before treating the main theme, I consider it necessary to lead up to it by making a brief reference to Cicero, the preeminent author of the Golden Age, and by discussing somewhat at length the leading writers of the Transition period, Sallust and Livy. Tacitus also must be included because he had strong classical tendencies, although chronologically he came after Seneca.
