Book excerpt: Jean RACINE (1639-1699), fut éduqué par les jansénistes de Port Royal. Ses tragédies dérivent de plusieurs sources : « Andromaque » (1667), « Iphigénie » (1674) et « Phèdre » (1677), de la littérature latine et grecque ; « Britannicus » (1669), « Bérénice » (1670) et « Mithridate » (1673), de l´histoire romaine ; « Bajazet » (1672) de l´histoire turque contemporaine ; et « Esther » (1689) et « Athalie » (1691) de la Bible. Il écrivit aussi une comédie dans le style d´Aristophane, « Plaideurs » (1668). L´idée centrale de la majorité de ses tragédies est la perception de la folie aveugle de la passion humaine, asservie en permanence à la poursuite de ses objectifs et toujours vouée à l´échec.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JEAN BAPTISTE RACINE, the younger contemporary of Corneille, and his rival for supremacy in French classical tragedy, was born at Ferte-Milon, December 21, 1639. He was educated at the College of Beauvais, at the great Jansenist school at Port Royal, and at the College d'Harcourt. He attracted notice by an ode written for the marriage of Louis XIV in 1660, and made his first really great dramatic success with his "Andromaque." His tragic masterpieces include "Britannicus," "Berenice," "Bajazet," "Mithridate," "Iphigenie," and "Phaedre," all written between 1669 and 1677. Then for some years he gave up dramatic composition, disgusted by the intrigues of enemies who sought to injure his career by exalting above him an unworthy rival. In 1689 he resumed his work under the persuasion of Mme. de Maintenon, and produced "Esther" and "Athalie," the latter ranking among his finest productions, although it did not receive public recognition until some time after his death in 1699. Besides his tragedies, Racine wrote one comedy, "Les Plaideurs," four hymns of great beauty, and a history of Port Royal. The external conventions of classical tragedy which had been established by Corneille, Racine did not attempt to modify. His study of the Greek tragedians and his own taste led him to submit willingly to the rigor and simplicity of form which were the fundamental marks of the classical ideal. It was in his treatment of character that he differed most from his predecessor; for whereas, as we have seen, Corneille represented his leading figures as heroically subduing passion by force of will, Racine represents his as driven by almost uncontrollable passion. Thus his creations appeal to the modern reader as more warmly human; their speech, if less exalted, is simpler and more natural; and he succeeds more brilliantly with his portraits of women than with those of men. All these characteristics are exemplified in "Phaedre," the tragedy of Racine which has made an appeal to the widest audience. To the legend as treated by Euripides, Racine added the love of Hippolytus for Aricia, and thus supplied a motive for Phaedra's jealousy, and at the same time he made the nurse instead of Phaedra the calumniator of his son to Theseus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jean Racine (1639-1699) is the greatest tragic dramatist of the French Classical Age, a privileged epoch that consciously sought to equal previous high moments of civilization, such as the periods of Alexander, Augustus, and the Medici. The miracle of Racine is the brilliance of his artistic career at the point in the history of western culture when the theater was under its heaviest attack. Thanks to the powerful impact of his plays, he triumphed both professionally and socially. Ronald W. Tobin's analysis presents Racine as an icon in French literature. His cosmic and disturbing vision broods over unsettling questions of good and evil, freedom and constraint, self and society, immanence and transcendence, origins and perspectives. Tobin provides a detailed explication of Racine's masterpiece Phedre (1677). His study also contains fresh insights into Racine's other plays and illuminates French classical drama as a whole.
