One of the three great playwrights of seventeenth century France, along with Molière and Corneille, Jean Racine is as a significant figure of world literature. Primarily a tragedian, producing neoclassical masterpieces such as 'Phèdre', 'Andromaque' and 'Athalie', Racine also composed the comedy 'Les Plaideurs'. His works demonstrate a mastery of the 12-syllable French alexandrine - a verse form that influenced European literature for over two centuries. Renowned for their elegance, purity, speed and fury, Racine's dramas are characterised by psychological insight, the prevailing passion of characters and the economy of both plot and stage. This eBook presents Racine's complete plays, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
