• W4205122019 abstract "80 BOOK REVIEWS be applied to Seneca's work, yet increasingly, interesting questions require tools drawn frommore than one sort of training or habit of thought. The variety and ambition of Seneca's works constitute a formidable challenge to his interpreters. So do the deep and subtle links between his philosophical ideas and their pervasively meta phorical means of expression, and the recessive but tantalizingly perceptible authorial voice that animates his oeuvre. Every part of Seneca's work potentially informs every other part. For classical scholars who wish to take an integrative approach to him, Reading Seneca provides invaluable guidance to an essential part of thewhole. For those who remain skeptical of Seneca's worth as a philosopher, Inwood's sober assessments of Seneca's achievements, his shortcom ings and the inspiration they have provided to later thinkers should provide powerful inducement to take seriously as a philosopher this literary genius?or a man who thought himself one (p. 160). Amanda Wilcox Williams College Feeling History: Lucan, Stoicism, and thePoetics ofPassion. By FRAN CESCA D'ALESSANDRO BEHR. Columbus: The Ohio State Univer sityPress, 2007. Pp. xiv + 259. Cloth, $59.95. ISBN 978-0-8142-1043-7. There was a timewhen Lucan's Stoic credentials required no de fense; scholars such as Berthe Marti1 could simply assume them and proceed from there, ignoring the vast stretches of the Bellum civile that defy reconciliation with the serene austerity of the rationalist philosopher. A more recent line of interpretation, represented invary ing degrees byW.R. Johnson,2 JohnHenderson,3 Shadi Bartsch4 and this reviewer,5 has depicted Lucan as a nihilist, with debates tending to fix on what sort of nihilist he was: ideological, aesthetic or both. In her rich new study, Francesca D'Alessandro Behr (hereafter B.) has set herself the ambitious task of recovering a Stoic Lucan through a discussion of his apostrophes. B. has delved deeply into the Stoic sources to find justification for Lucan's philosophical commitment; 1 The Meaning of the Pharsalia, AJP 66 (1945) 352-76. 2 Momentary Monsters: Lucan and his Heroes, Cornell Studies in Classical Philology 48 (Ithaca, 1987). 3 Lucan/The Word atWar, inA.J. Boyle, ed., The Imperial Muse: Ramus Essays on Roman Literature of the Empire, to Juvenal through Ovid (Berwick, 1988) 122-64. 4 Ideology inCold Blood: A Reading of Lucan's Civil War (Cambridge, MA and Lon don, 1997). 5 The Taste for Nothingness: A Study ofVirtus and Related Themes in Lucan's Bellum Civile (Ann Arbor, 2003). BOOK REVIEWS 81 in the process, she has produced amonograph not only of immediate importance to Lucan studies as a moderating influence on recent tendencies, but of value to all students of Latin epic, of Stoicism and indeed ofWestern intellectual history. After an introduction that effectively connects Lucan's extensive use of apostrophe to Stoic aesthetics and its emphasis on the audi ence's ability to control its reactions (p. 9), B. goes on to compare his apostrophes to Vergil's, arguing in her first chapter that by giving voice to the defeated and representing theworld as they perceive it (p. 31), Lucan devises a conscious response toVergil's restrained use of the technique, which B. sees as endorsing, however reluc tantly, an imperialistic program through the suppression of its vic tims' grief. This contrast, while valid, is perhaps drawn toomuch at Vergil's expense, for it seems not altogether fair to charge him with unwillingness to consider fully the victims' experience (p. 31). Ever themaster of compression, Vergil does not need an extended apostrophe; infelix Dido says itall. The second chapter, Addressing Negative Characters: The Di dactic Nature of Apostrophe in the Bellum Civile/' explores Lucan's interventionist portrayals ofVulteius, Scaeva, Crastinus, Petreius and Caesar (regarding his dementia at BC 9.1045-62), with a view to the poet's preoccup[ation] with theway inwhich the reader will react to the characters' reception of Caesarian 'values' (p. 71). The chapter concludes with a worthwhile comparison of Lucan's apostrophes to Brechtian Verfremdungseffekt as a distancing technique that cause[s] the viewer to think (p. 75, quoting Adorno on Brecht). From this discussion, one would gather that Verfremdungseffekt,which B. is right..." @default.
