Three Plays of Racine - Phaedra Britannicus Andromache, by Jean Racine, translated by George Dillon, Published by The University of Chicago Press, Chicago 1961, ISBN#: 0226150771, Soft bound, Excellent condition (light cover wear, price label remnant on front cover, light spine crease). The three works in this volume established Racine as a playwright who enjoyed high favor both with the public and at the court of Louis XIV Born on December 20, 1639, Jean Racine was orphaned at a young age and raised by his grandmother, Marie des Moulins, who took the boy with her to the convent of Port-Royal des Champs near Paris after she was widowed. Racine's teachers at the convent were members of a reform movement known as Jansenism. Although they were suspected by the French monarchy of being theologically and politically subversive, these monks provided the young Racine with a good education, allowing him the opportunity to study Latin and Greek classics under their tutelage, a privilege most young writers… Read More

Pocket, 1999. poche. 1999. Broché. 157 pages. 157pages. poche. Poche. Tyran sanguinaire empereur féroce despote criminel : le seul nom de Néron provoque des frémissements d'horreur. C'est ce que Racine a bien compris : pour sa première tragédie romaine - terrain traditionnel de son vieux rival Corneille -Néron tombe à point nommé pour provoquer la crainte et la pitié. Il choisit donc d'en faire son héros maléfique le double ignominieux de son frère Britannicus innocent bientôt immolé à la formation machiavélique du jeune empereur. Car ce qui intéresse Racine ce ne sont pas tant les crimes de Néron que les méandres de son âme.
