Amanda Wilcox Offers An Innovative Approach To Two Major Collections Of Roman Lettersciceros Ad Familiares And Senecas Moral Epistlesinformed By Modern Crosscultural Theories Of Giftgiving.By Viewing Letters And The Practice Of Correspondence As A Species Of Gift Exchange, Wilcox Provides A Nuanced Analysis Of Neglected And Misunderstood Aspects Of Roman Epistolary Rhetoric And The Social Dynamics Of Friendship In Ciceros Correspondence. Turning To Seneca, She Shows That He Both Inherited And Reacted Against Ciceros Euphemistic Rhetoric And Social Practices, And She Analyzes How Seneca Transformed The Rhetoric Of His Own Letters From An Instrument Of Social Negotiation Into An Idiom For Ethical Philosophy And Selfreflection. Though Cicero And Seneca Are Often Viewed As A Study In Contrasts, Wilcox Extensively Compares Their Letters, Underscoring Ciceros Significant Influence On Seneca As A Prose Stylist, Philosopher, And Public Figure.
