From the Author
The book has two goals, since it has two audiences, the amateur and the specialist: it offers a life and times of Racine, followed by a detailed analysis of each of his twelve plays. While so doing, it brings to bear the best of Racine scholarship of the past twenty years. It is, therefore, not only an introduction, entirely in English, to the theater of France's greatest tragic author, but also a review of scholarly highlights, focussing particulary on the recent trend of illuminating Racine's superb sense of dramaturgy.
